Gate agents are stupid for the most part and don't understand the rules. They just make up their own so whether or not you actually need one is irrelevant, the question is would it be smart to have one and the answer is YES!


Kind of harsh words to say don't you think? Don't attack the man(or woman) who is trying to do their jobs. As far as we know, TSA is requiring us to check them. Now, if they are not requiring the company the company(Speaking for Delta) is requiring us. Now, if "gate agents are stupid for the most part" and you think you can do a better job, as I tell passengers you are welcomed to show me how to do my job. If not, thanks for flying with us......
