Why would you take it upon youself to antagonise those who are only doing their job in trying to keep is safe?


That's hardly an attitude that is actually of any benefit.......do you teach your children this same disdain for the public service and people in authority?
American TSA screeners usually do a pretty goo job of antagonising travellers first. It is very noticeable that security staff at European airports are not a fraction of the PITA that the American ones are.
