That's good to hear.
No, I can't really get a look at them. They're positioned to hide the screen an my airport. Well and airport security is a pain, so I'm trying to get through as quickly as possible.
When I went to the airport last time they had one of those full body scan things we have to wave your arms in the air. I don't understand why I wasn't allowed to look at the picture, it's a picture of me. I want to see it.
It's night and day flying out of the US to somewhere in Europe. You go through all the rigmarole of TSA on the US side. Then when you land on the other side of the Atlantic they go "you look all right" and leave you alone.
You were not allowed to look at the photo mostly because the security can't be arsed to deal with your bullshit.
Yeah but it took longer to say no than it would have to just turn the screen around so they're just being dick heads.
And they do love to do that. Then the most unpleasant people it's like they actually have a job and their job isn't security their job is to be unpleasant awkward unhelpful rude and aggressive.
Probably, but letting every tourist have a look on it, take photos, organize toured xray picnics and have their ass eaten in security check will just complicate their life. I do recognize they're assholes, but in this case I would do the same. Not my fucking job to tend idiots
