They are patting down passengers and swabbing carry ons at the gate. Must be 10 TSA agents over there.

Eagles fans are fricking maniacs so this makes sense.

Flying out of BWI is trashy. Thoughts and prayers.

You haven't seen trashy until you've flown the Jxn, MS to ATL route.

At the gate? That seems out of the ordinary.

Not unprecedented. I've seen this happen a handful of times.

I'm guessing its some sort of audit protocol where a handful of TSA show up at a gate and recheck all ID's and do some random searches.

For two days now there have been nonstop jets and helicopter flying all over the city snd greater NO area.

Trump putting the military back to work is nice.

This is happening for most of the flights I have heard of heading to NOLA. Connecting flights are getting a second screening at the gate. Makes you wonder what they know or are they just being overly cautious after Bourbon Street.

A sitting president is coming to town who has been declared a enemy of the government, shot at twice by his own citizens, just told Gaza he wants to relocate all their people, told the world America is tariffing their goods and ending all their aid packages, etc. They know that.

Probably just checking to make sure no trannies are allowed on the plane. It's for your protection, citizen.

So you think a swabbing and pat down for a flight from Baltimore to New Orleans the day before the Super Bowl is just a random event?
