It started when the new scanners came in, which pick up those items. This is consistent policy, but you were just not aware of that because you didn’t read the signs.
Last night I went through Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International TSA reception screening. We live in a police state folks. The terrorists have won. Getting scanned and frisked to re-enter my own country, like a common street criminal. A shocking rude reminder that we have surrendered our liberty for security. So sad.
Where were the signs? In the rest rooms? I had these issues on the return trip.
