    TSA is a national agency - why do they have different standards at
    different airports?

    Your story makes me wonder if maybe the airports have some say in what the
    TSA agents at their facility do, i.e. adding extra checks or looking for
    things that they don't look for at other airports.

    Could also be a poor training issue.

    well also what he is crying about is stupid. nobody died.
    also those things have lithium batteries. it's good to have them out to keep an eye on them. I've had a lithium battery spark up and it's serious.

    I think it's because of equipment/technology differences. The more
    modern scanners for example, require less intrusive-ness to the
    travelers. Sometimes a particular airport hasn't gotten funding yet for upgrades, or hasn't phased in the new stuff yet. I think the bigger
    airports generally have more updated equipment.

    Certainly true.

    I had not thought of that. I bet you are right.
