I do know that this was upsetting to him and her. Any of us might be undone by it. But afterwards, when we think about it most of us try to look at our behavior and how we might have not ended up in this pickle. This man seems to be on a mission now, proving he was a victim, his wife was, and so on. I believe that somethings are better just let go of. When people feel misused, they often go off on a tear proving they were misused, it sort of drives them. I don't know if that is a good thing to do. Security is full of potholes and it ought to be improved, I am seeing it as I fly every two or three weeks. But it is a two way street. As Mineeral Man said, the goal is to get on the plane out of the way in the fastest way. Going into the process armed for bear, irritable, grumbling and ready to rumble won't help anything. I think he went in in an edgy way and this happened. I hate to see pregnant women cry and get upset, anyone would. But sometimes we just have to buck up, get a stiff upper lip and go on. Or if we can't, our husbands can help by helping us. Often men feel if their wives are upset they have to go do something, like knock heads together. This is an unfair burden for men and unwise at times.

Maybe, but from personl experience (I worked there remember, and was granted access) I can tell you these screeners you're dealing with are nothing but arrogant, self important little vermin with a chip on their sholder.

Watching people come past in suits that cost more than their month's wages.. Don't underestimate their disdain for the flying public.

If it comes down to believeing this guy at face value or any one of the screeners I know personally, I will take this guy's side in a minute.

Remind me to tell you about the delta guy's throwing someone's new HP computer on the pavement sometime..

You may know flying, but I know the airport.
