TSA Guy: Do you have any electronics in your bags?
Me: Yes.
TSA Guy: What?
Me: Laptop, iPod, hotspot, cell phone, battery pack and a tablet.
I pointed out where each was located in my laptop bag and he took everything out and swabbed it.
TSA Guy: What is in your roller bag?
Me: Clothes and my unmentionables – it is also locked. The combination is 0-0-0.
He then took several swabs.
TSA Guy: You are good to go.
Me: Thank you.
TSA Guy: No, thank you for making this easy.
Me: How so?
TSA Guy: When I saw you waiting for me you looked like the kind of guy who was going to give me a lot of trouble.
Me: There you go.

TSA is absolutely insufferable. I had a run-in with them in Philadelphia a few years ago. I was almost certain that I was going to be arrested and subsequently become the plaintiff in a lawsuit. My wife was horrified as she sat waiting to see if I was going to get waved through or not.
TSA is one of the main reasons I try to avoid flying if at all possible. Pissants with a little authority--horrible combination.
