TSA Screeners have a tough job. With the attitudes and confusion many travelers exhibit in the security line, it's no wonder they sometimes seem to lack a sense of humor. The pat-down rules now in place have only exacerbated the problems. Here are some things you should never say to a screener.
1) That was great. Which way to the smoking lounge?
2) Ummm, I think I'll go back through the line again.
3) A little to the left... ahhhh, that's the spot.
4) So, what time do you get off work?
5) Would it be inappropriate to tip you?
6) You change your gloves each time, right?
7) Please... don't... stop!
8) Wow, your hands are freezing!
9) You have lovely eyes.
10) Come here often?
