In that case they don't have a picture, but they do know what they feel like, and if they don't, it just takes one ornery TSA agent for it to happen.

It's a thoroughly miserable process no matter what way you slice it.

I just don't go in with a toxic mindset and have never had a bad experience.

I'd rather not feel negatively for no reason, because it hurts me and doesn't help me in any way. Maybe you have a better reason to go through life unhappily, but I don't.

"You know what, I'm looking forward to having my privacy violated! I hope they stop me for packing some cookies in my carry on!"

I don't think anything when I'm going through airport security. It's literally the same experience as checking out at a grocery store. Wait a few minutes then walk through the xray. Do you go into grocery stores with the same toxic mindset?

"You know what, I'm looking forward to this wage slave touching my credit card. I hope they can't scan one of my items and I have to go put it back."

It's possible to be a nasty person in any situation. It never helps you. Your mindset causes you pain and you can literally choose not to do that.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I need to fly on st patricks so I have excuse to wear one my tac kilts. Fun for everyone!

good for you. i respect your conviction, and think you are doing a principled thing.
