The TSA checkpoint also closes unreasonably early. My sister once made it to the checkpoint 30 minutes before a late night flight (think around 10pm) and they were closing up shop.

She had to beg them to let her through.

The TSA people at RIC are particularly assholish too. I hate all them wannabe cops but fuck RIC TSA in particular.

It takes a special kind of dipshit to make you take your belt off and then bitch at you because your pants are falling down.

Yeah, but thats pretty much TSA across the board at every airport.

Right! I flew with my toddler recently and had liquids (milk) in excess of 3oz to feed her with. Totally permissible by TSA, I looked up all the rules before packing.

At Richmond, multiple TSA officers were questioning my reasons for having milk and lecturing me about how I should have put the milk in a clear bottle because otherwise it “takes extra time” (turned out to be a 30 second affair). When I flew home from Puerto Rico I got not of the attitude whatsoever.
