    This has been the case since 9/11. I’m so sick of being looked at like I’m an idiot when I’m remove my shoes, then on the flight back they treat me like an idiot for asking if I have to take them off

    Looking forward a TSA officer looking at me like an idiot for either not taking my shoes off or for taking my shoes off. It’s comforting to know that no matter what I do, there’s a TSA agent who will treat me like I’m a moron for following the same instructions I overheard them give the person in front of me.

      “Remove”

      “Should I remove my shoes?”

      “No, I’m talking to my colleague”

      Colleague arrives.

      “It’s this the guy I need to remove?”

      That was just Quinton Tarentino. He had nothing to do with TSA. He just flies a lot, wears a blue shirt, and sniffs peoples feet.

      Does the same thing in Best Buy.

    while this is nice, like removing the supervisors from the Chinese bio-lab ; this could take a turn for the worse.
