What annoyed me the most was that each airport and sometimes each airline within the airport had different TSA "rules". And it seemed that they changed almost daily. coats on/off, laptops in/out, shoes on/off, body xray yes/no, etc.
A logical mind would seem to ask "Why not one set of rules, so I can plan accordingly"?
Then it occurred to me that the very randomness and seeming incompetence is part of the idea. Seems the bad guys might have more difficulty gaming the system if the system is the Game With No Rules.
So I'm still at a loss to explain it, but I do still detest the system.
Yup. One time at the Nashville airport this summer a tsa agent goes “whoa whoa whoa don’t take your shoes off” I said “why not” and she goes “cause we have a dog out”
Can’t make it up.
