    Must be TSA goon discretion. When I last checked one at DIA, I stood right next to them.

    I have flown a _lot_ in the TSA era, with pre-check when it became available. The second most frustrating thing with TSA is the inconsistency. The simplest of activities are different from airport to airport, and of course the bad apples really stand out when their pet procedure is “disrespected” by the bewildered passengers.

    Ok. I gotta ask.... you couldn’t infer what they wanted when the phrase in German was “Der ticket”? It has ticket right there, and being asked to see your ticket on a train is an expected scenario. It seems ticket is the same in both languages and should have been easy to figure out.

    Most over zealous TSA agents lose their backbone when you ask them to call their manager to iron out the situation properly.

    Well, someone seems upset that they didn?t get the special TSA groping.

    I always get groped when I travel.

    They say no water bottles and liquids have to be a specific ounce limit to get through. Why would you think a can of Red Bull is acceptable ? Just curious. I?m not a fan of the TSA.

    Silver linings. Every time you start to get frustrated with a cab full of four Corgis on the drive back, just imagine that you had to drive back with that TSA agent and breathe a sigh of relief that it's just four hyper dogs instead.
