It looks like this guy went off from the get go and then the security people made it worse?

It is not that they are not smart, they are forbidden. The TSA can treat you any way it wishes and you'd best just put ice on it.

I'll ask again, flown lately?

First, the quote you supplied is not mine...

and you haven't asked me before if I had flown lately, so your impatience is perhaps misdirected, but yes, I have. The first being a month after 9/11. I was scared. But not of the screeners.
