Airport gripe? Don't get mad, get the boss |
Screening can make you feel like screaming Because of recent terrorist scares, annoying airport security routines are getting to be even more of a pain. Raise your hand if you’ve ever been tempted to raise your hand against a pushy ATC airport security guard who gets too personal or tosses everything out of your carry-on bag. OK, that’s everyone in the class. Seriously, no matter how angry you get about your experience in that gauntlet of humiliation called airport screening, keep your cool. Hey, flyboy, that’s nothing. We’ve had even more reasons to grab a guard’s hand or other parts of the body. Several times, we’ve had our neatly-packed carry-ons pulled aside for special search. I guess we’re very suspicious-looking travelers, age 84 and 80. We had to watch while the guard went through the bag and actually tossed everything up in the air. Then, with an evil grin, the guy gave the messy bag back. We needed to spend lots of time trying to put everything together again before we boarded our flight.
