I agree, there needs to be a line for people who travel often enough that they know what they are doing. Everything, including my watch and belt, as well as the contents of my pockets, comes off me and goes into a tray.

Almost every time I get to the checkpoint, I get behind some travel-challenged individual who has to be recycled repeatedly for not taking the notebook out of the case and putting it in a tray by itself, take off the shoes, take off the jewelry, empty the pockets, take off the jacket, show us your ticket, etc., etc, etc.

I am amazed that they did not snatch up the woman and lock her down for a while. That is highly suspicious behavior.
