Needless to say it took longer to repack the electronics and make sure everything went back into the right place. I remember that day back at SFO in January...
The same happened to the guy in front of me and behind me.
.......seemed like the person was just doing their job. And you seemed to have answered your own question, it's probably the one TSO.
djk7 -
Just went through MCO an hour ago with my bag full of chargers and cables with no problem. It is probably a single screener, not a TSA wide change.
Which gates did you go through? And around what time....just curious, was working.

Huh? The reason you had an issue with the same bag that has the same contents, because it isn't the same person screening. Yes, we know this is an issue of consistency, but this is not a big deal, it's not like they mistreated your articles, or threw anything around. Come on, as much as you've traveled...and this is your biggest problem?
