I had someone name Ted once in Atlanta TSA. Ted was the nice guy who, when I once forgot to take my blackberry out of my pocket going through security at 5 am, muttered that I was likely a terrorist and had the supervisor come over and interrogate me about why I was trying to sneak my blackberry through security. It really was very kind of him.

TSA is full of "Nice" guys.

Although it shouldn't matter, I'm caucasian, blond hair, travel weekly, etc. etc. Don't look very much like what the U.S. has pegged as a terror suspect.
