Do you suffer from the well known syndrome of screaming louder if you don't think that the person that you are talking to has a different language? Why with a B737 load of pax were only non US citizens treated this way?
TSA does not require even a high school diploma for their screeners, nor a GED (high school equivalency test) certificate, as this can be waived.
It wasn't too many years ago that a TSA screener in Phoenix seized a Medal of Honor from a WWII hero - General Joe Foss - because he thought it could be used as a weapon. These are the people we all have to deal with while going through security.
