"Honey" and "honky" sound alike? Wow, that's new to me! But in any case, it is a racial epithet, and constitutes harassment - completely unacceptable. I'd report it, as I'd report any racist, sexist or homophobic epithet from an employee. AA HR is required to investigate it and act, regardless of any union agreements.

She then took off for while until returning to tag my bag and quickly take off again. Another agent finished my check in.

Yes I know honey and honky sound alike but wow! There is no TSA weight rule just an AA revenue rule. Besides this kind of treatment is sickening.

Anyone else experience something like this?
