My last airport experience was being stuck in line while the TSA people extremely aggressively screamed at some very elderly Hispanic grandparents who didn’t have great English or great hearing for a very long time. They genuinely were trying to do their best.
I get that it’s frustrating or whatever but holy shit they do like power tripping stuff too I feel like. The elderly gentleman thought he was supposed to approach to show I.d. but they wanted him to go somewhere else and they treated him like he was going to be an active shooter or something.
You’re right, the literally 1000s of people going through there daily all tell the same lie. I get you need to follow the protocols of your airport regardless of what another one does. But it would be pretty bloody obvious other ones actually are doing things differently.
It’s the US, they don’t really know about the rest of the world, and apparently a fair number of them aren’t sure what New Mexico or DC actually are and whether people from there ought to be arrested or not.
But… Don’t they deal with people from all over the country and world constantly? Ignorance can’t be an excuse at that point.

This is America. Ignorance is the goal.
