In some airports (e.g. Boston, Vegas) you need to show your boarding pass twice. Once to enter the security line, & once to exit the line. In most places they've consolidated the two tasks.
It bothers me that I have to go through the inconvenience of showing it twice, but it bugs me even more when the security agents at act as though their local rules are self-evident.
In Fort Meyers, you can't put your shoes in the x-ray bins. They say this is for cleanliness reasons. Fine, but then they treat everyone who's not aware of the rule like a suspected terrorist. They also have some unusual interpretation of the "no fluids" rule that I didn't understand.
Maybe we should have a giant sign over each airport security checkpoint that lists national rules & local rules in 2 distinct categories. This would help travelers know how to behave & keep the security workers from acting like all travelers are idiots.
Add this to my list of ways to improve airports.
