re: Creepy TSA interaction on X

Unfortunately I have to fly out of ATL most of the time due to my location, so it's easy to get numb to how bad the TSA employees there can be. Some are good, but they have some of the rudest employees in the airline industry.
Recently we flew back from FRA to ATL, and I told my wife that I'd rather the Bundespolizei patrolling like they do in Frankfurt over the incompetence of the TSA system. In Frankfurt, employees were polite and passengers were respectful.
We also arrived at the international terminal and had to get our luggage through customs, catch a bus to the domestic terminals because there are no locations for busses at the new terminal. It took 30 minutes to get from one side of ATL to the other. In all of that expansion to ATL, they couldn't make the underground train accessible from Concourse F to the main terminal?

Know why? I figured this out years ago. Their economies are so bad that some of the top 50% of their workforce is available to be hired for airport security. The American economy is so good at allocating resources that only the bottom of the barrell is available.
Side story to support OP: At MSY in NOLA the short term parking garage sits right across the road from the terminal, like it does at Hobby and lots of airports. TSA used to check all SUVs, that went into that parking garage, for bombs. I used to stop and they would look inside and run a mirror under the car.
Several times I pointed out to them that I could freely drive the same damn SUV up the ramp to the road that lay between the terminal and the garage - that my car (and theoretical bombs therein) would be a lot closer to the terminal there. But no, they continued to check for the farther away threat and ignore the close one. Years later they stopped that foolishness.
