Seattle KCM is just awful. Compare that to SFO which is incredible. That such a “standardized” federal agency has such a ridiculous variance would be comical if wasn’t so $!&@ annoying.

San Fran isn't TSA, they're contractors, but yes they're awesome.

Speaking of removing clothing... my belt from ACA always sets off the metal detector. Any recommendations for belts? Reversible for bonus points.

Had a TSA guy tell me that the reversible belts tend to always set off the detector.

You can use your belt buckle for ID in Texas.

Titanium belt buckle. Problem solved. A bit pricey but worth it.

I mean are we not doing phrasing anymore?
Many KCM agents want to see both sides of your airline ID. Most stations don't. So, what are they looking for on the back of my Delta ID?
