TSA Checkpoint International A

I’ve been to the San Francisco airport a lot. Not a ton recently, but in the past I’ve never noticed any rude TSA agents. I was recently here last Saturday morning (4am). I know it was early and we all rather be asleep, but nevertheless please don’t be rude.
I currently am pregnant and have been advised to not go through the scanner, and it has never been a problem before. I don’t mind having to get patted down and my stuff checked, I have nothing to hide and I just don’t care. Anyways, once I got my luggage and carryon items ready to go through the belt to go through their scanner I notified the agent near me that I do not want to go through the scanner. He rudely told me that I couldn’t just choose whatever I wanted. I told him that yes I do have a choice and I’ve never had a problem at any other airport. Then he told me that I would have to get patted down and I replied I understood that and was fine with it. Then he annoyingly told me their female agent is busy and I’d have to wait, which is fine. The female agent was nice and friendly. I’ve experienced time and time again (with some exceptions) that TSA agents overall think they are so superior. Yes I know we need to comply with them which I’ve always done, but it does not excuse rudeness.

Merry Christmas! I got so excited this year when I arrived at sfo for what I had been waiting for ALL YEAR… More waiting!!! The seemingly lack of efficiency, fairness and the general usage of letting streams of people go through security before you was exactly what I needed. As I stand in line, sweating balls of sweat while holding my oversized «carry on» and «personal item», I realize what a great workout this security check point is giving me. Because the greatest gifts in life are virtues such as patience, health through heavy lifting, and the genuine smile that bearded TSA guy is giving while checking no one in.
Merry Christmas to all and I pray I’ll make my flight!
In all seriousness, it’s the holiday season, everywhere is crowded and busy. There are longer lines and people are just trying to get where they are going. I’m sure we’ll make our flight. Hopefully.
