I am always 'patted down' since I have a Titanium knee!
Both ways on this trip I had very polite, courteous and helpful TSA agents!
They were VERY concerned with letting me know EXACTLY what they were going to do and how they would perform their 'duties'.
This morning i tried to reassure the agent that I knew what what was going on but he finally told me, "Sir, I must tell you exactly what i am going to do so you are comfortable with it. If you have any problems with what I tell you please say so and i will call over my supervisor."
Apparently SOME of the TSA officials are doing the job in that they are getting the message to their front-line personnel that some of the public are upset and they are beginning to handle the situation with a bit more DIPLOMACY!
Both ways on this trip ALL the TSA agents I encountered were very FRIENDLY and helpful.
Of course i was travelling in the 'less heavily' traveled times and that may have had something to do with it!
Good to be back on my own computer and chatting again with all my friends!
