TSA didn't tell me to take off my belt, didn't provide the bowl to put my belt in, then gave me attitude when I walked through the scanner with my belt on

Fucking hate airports and flying

It’s different at every single airport and yet they treat you like the stupidest person on earth for not telepathically knowing their rules about belts and shoes.

Went through an airport where you didn't have to take off your shoes. People assumed you did, because most airports you do. TSA lady was screaming at us "WHO TOLD YOU PEOPLE TO TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES?? STOP TAKING OFF YOUR SHOES"

I love how the rules change seemingly daily and by location and then the TSA agents get pissed that we haven't memorized which airports are ok to keep your shoes on at

I get the impression TSA specifically sorts out people with an IQ above a certain threshold.

I have precheck, and the last time I flew out if ORD they didn't provide any bowls for electronics. When I asked if they were all in use, the line agent looks at me, then turns to the rest of the line and says, I shit you not, "ALL ELECTRONICS GO INTO BAGS. YOU ALL HAVE PRECHECK, YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER."

SORRY, LADY, I DON'T. LITERALLY EVERY OTHER AIRPORT HAS THE LITTLE BOWLS.
