Most of the time TSA would shout “Crew come to the front!” if they saw anyone in uniform waiting behind passengers.
I get it. I saw it. That's fine. Many did.
Ive pretty much fed up with being treated like a criminal before I go jump in front of a tube with a bunch of jet fuel and 300 people on it. Seems like there's a better way than what's coming in to replace KCM. Guess just keep "embracing the suck" as the mil guys like to say and just follow along. No point in getting jacked up about it, once I get to the airport it's out of my control how much time is going to be wasted getting into the secure area.
