Their attitude makes me realize why people really dislike the TSA. As if being randomly selected makes someone a big threat and worthy of an even more arrogant attitude. What's with the stupid act of putting you in the box thingy and then taking you out a minute later?
As a side note, I wonder what the TSA does to your bags when you fly to TSA?
I was there pretty early as well (6:30) and there was hardly any line...maybe it was because I was smiling and laughing and being rather jovial about the whole thing...I kept talking to them about how this was my first time (and to be gentle).
They were actually very pleasant about the whole thing so maybe I just got the lucky.
