Convicted TSA Officer Reveals Secrets of Thefts at Airports

4. I know about this, it explains the a-hole attitudes

that used to happen, more ten years ago than now.

I left a pricey laptop, a mac, same color as the bin 6am in the morning, empty airport, they never made an announcement but luckily something reminded me and I ran back. Instead of helping me they made me jump through hoops and were sneering towards me and when I got angry they threatened. When I said it was an Apple they said "Oh you mean the color is red" and didn't make any moves towards getting it for me. It was ugly and I'll never forget it. Since then since I carry a lot with me I've had many bad experiences where I'm left waiting if I opt out and they try to separate me from my luggage. The latest was that I had to put my money belt through again but I wasn't allowed to watch the process!

Sorry to those who stick up for them and I realize it's more incompetence lately than anything but they DO NOT have the customer in mind and they are taught to be assholes with their attitude and that's just wrong. Plus, I don't want to be radiated by the backscatter machines and they make me stand next to them while I wait forever for them to find someone to maul me. I refuse to do this and then get threatened and questioned. Believe me I do everything to be cooperative to avoid problems but they are built in to this process.
