So-called Security

[samnite]

A couple of days ago I was in Newwark airport heading to Michigan with my family. We got to security checkpoint and I looked around to see if there were any specific instructions they had. The only sign said "taking off your shoes is NOT required but may help speed up your security check". Now I've gone through tons of security checkpoints

I love how you are more informed about the signs than the people that work at the airport. Honestly, that's a bull shit situation; if she's screaming at you for no good reason, her boss should know about that. Meh - not your crusade though, or mine.

I hope the rest of the trip was happily uneventful.

That's really weird- I've never had to deal with that, and I fly a lot. Some screeners may have their own personal things. Or maybe she thought you were suspicious.

Hi sam, it's Jen. Finally friended you. The worst airport security is in new york. everywhere else it seems to at least make some sense but here, no dice.

Maybe you just need a security blanket to get over this obsession.
