Living in Las Vegas, married to a pilot, with frequent flying, we’ve never had a problem at our airport. I think they want the tourists to come back and don’t want to pi$$ them off. Just sayin’. TSA here are some of the most professional and polite I’ve encountered. I could tell you about some other cities, but bad experiences tend to go into my “denial vault.”
I am a platinum flyer and fly a lot and in the last 11 years have had one rude screener and it was minor. TSA hasnt done one inappropriate thing to me or anyone I know.
Anyone is free not to fly but this is alot of sound and fury over a piddling thing in my opinion.
A polite Nazi SS officer is STILL a Nazi SS officer... they ALL need to go!
