We have all been standing in the same line for the last twenty minutes, hearing the same instructions repeated over and over and seeing every…single…person in line ahead of us go through the same drill. You should NOT be surprised when you get to the front of the line and have to remove your laptop and all electronic devices larger than a phone, your belt, jacket, shoes and empty your pockets!
The rest of us who have any awareness of our surroundings and actually listen to instructions would like to get through security (out of the kill box this security theater creates) and get a cup of coffee or a bite to eat before our flight starts boarding.
Sheesh!
