I guess I didn't make it very clear, we're talking small... One "gate" (door), two RJ-200 flights a day, no employee line, no gate check-in, etc. The first time I tried jumping out of that station the agent couldn't figure out how to CASS me so I ended up driving 2.5 hours the opposite direction to a "real" airport.
I always try to show people that are doing their job respect, however it gets a little frustrating when you get treated like a three year old at a TSA checkpoint that is operating entirely differently than I've ever seen in any of the other places I've ever been. Seriously, head scratching, WTF planet am I on sort of different...
That's why I was hoping one of the regional guys might know what's up with REALLY small stations.
Gotcha. Some of those small airports are a little over zealous when it comes to security. I’m sure the local managers were told they have to be hyper vigilant because the 9/11 terrorists didn’t originate in the large airports the doomed flight left from but connected from flights from the nowhere airports. Now they over compensate.
