The only time I've been to O'hare and this was a few years ago, I remember many of the TSA people practically barking orders out to people.
The problem is many of the passengers don't bother to read any signs around up about taking off shoes, removing coats, etc. That is what I was noticing.

Other airports may have a video playing, specific to that airport. Combine the video with the TSA barking and it can become extremely overwhelming, especially to an infrequent traveller or one who does not speak English as their primary langugage.

Yes, you're almost treated like a human when you fly! I lived in the US for many years, and on the occasions when I think about taking a job back there, the airport experience on the way to and from the interview is not a big selling point.

Not to mention that EVERY airport in the USA seems to have TSO's that invent their own versions of what a passenger must do to comply. When you get a new screamer yelling something completely different from what the previous airport with a different screamer yelled at you, it gets confusing. It really doesn't seem to matter what the signs say.

The standard defintion of 'coat' and 'outerwear' seem to vary greatly from TSA definition of the same.
