My Daughter and I flew PHX-LHR on Sunday and found the very heavy duty TSA presence polite, cheerful and professional. This despite my daughter having scissors in her hand luggage (again!!) and my failing to remove my laptop from my briefcase, evidently a misdemeanor that requires explosive sniffing and re-xray.
We just have to live with it and these guys had a good attitude. But I wonder what they do when their sniffer gets a false alarm?
