Seriously, there’s no standardization to the security theater hoops that the TSA forces you to jump through. Every airport is different, and the TSA guys always look so exasperated that you don’t know the routine. I guess that’s the point, that on any given day the rules might be different so that potential terrorists will have a harder time finding gaps in security, but it makes it a frustrating experience as a regular non-terrorist passenger.
Since its all make believe anyway and they have never stopped a single terrorist they may as well make it convenient for everyone else by making it standard.

I travel for work and it’s absolutely not the TSA playing the long game to keep us on our toes, it’s absolute lack of standards gear and incompetence.
