Flew out of LAX on Sunday and the TSA folks were super polite and efficient, and sadly, had not yet resorted to busting out the music. Flew back home today and didn’t make it upstairs to verify and report back. (Too busy recombobulating after a rather bumpy flight.)
I had worried about traveling while people’s money was being held hostage would be an absolute mess, but this was the most trouble-free security experience I’ve had in ages. I think if there’s one takeaway from all this, it’s that the general public is being nicer to the underpaid folks in our security theater, and I feel that treating front line folks nicer is always a good thing.
