I fly all of the time with no problem. There are signs everywhere that tell you what you need to do. Simply do as they direct and you will have no problems. If you don't like to take your computer out of your bag, empty your pockets and take off jewelry, shoes and belt, go with TSA Pre. It is very cheap...and free for military. That is what i do. Takes me seconds to get through security (just went through the TSA-Pre line at Albuquerque with a wife and small dog last Saturday)..only had to take the dog out of the bag so it would not be x-rayed. Of course I already knew to do that. Less than 5 minutes start to finish. No one touched me, my spouse , my things or even even my dog.

TSA pays almost nothing (about like WalMart) yet they have to wear crappy uniforms and be polite anyways. The bear the daily brunt of great distain and poor treatment...usually underserved. They are just following the rules they are provided as best they can.

Their record is perfect since inception. Pretty hard to beat.
