I don't understand why they don't have a sign at the entrance to security to tell you what to expect. Or, when it changes by which line you go to, why they don't have a sign indicating the differences between lines.

Instead, they wait for someone to make a mistake, then yell out their mistake like "ALL ELECTRONICS MUST COME OUT OF YOUR BAG" at the same time as someone the next line over is yelling "ELECTRONICS DO NOT NEED TO COME OUT OF YIUR BAGS".

TSA is infuriatingky inconsistent and incomprehensible, even for someone who travels frequently.

This is due to the scanners.

Newer scanners don’t need electronics out, older ones do.

Unfortunately, they don’t replace them ALL at an airport at the same time, leading to inconsistency…

My current major airport I fly through doesn’t open pre check until 9am, which is a pain, cause I have to print a paper ticket to get my precheck privileges in the normal lines

Which causes chaos cause I don’t have to do things others do

Wow that makes so much sense.

Yes the croissants! I'm always happy when I see those.

TSA is just a pork barrel jobs program. Nothing more.

If only those jobs could be doing something useful for society…

Literally anything else would be more productive and probably less annoying too.

Sometimes they do have signs, but then they don't do what the sign says.
