When I got to the aircraft for the first leg I made the hike out to security got screened so I didn't have to do it in ATL for my DV8 DH (I was nonreving because of a short connection time) commute back home. In passing I talked to the TSA as I exited and then turned right back around to be screened. He asked what I was doing and I told him. He thought it was ridiculous too. I figured if I had any problem in ATL, I was on the security tape going thru in my origination station.

I, too, think this is ridiculous but this the way it's been for at least a couple of years.
