TSA Checkpoint Terminal A – San Jose International Airport

I’m just gonna say… they don’t mess around! They will find stuff in your purse that you forgot about! Before you travel be sure to go through your purse, or you will be throwing it away in the trash at the checkpoint.

TSA has lost their grip with reality.
Now come on, I can’t bring a cup of coffee through security? Since when will someone drink a cup of nitro-​glycerine in front of them? I’m tired of throwing out my coffee.
Yet I can bring sandwiches, bananas and fruit from home…
Golf balls have a center core that cannot be inspected… what’s really inside of those golf balls people are carrying on board?
TSA needs to get a grip… and not of their privates (or mine).

I got TSA Pre-​Check, which is always awesome. I didn’t have to take off my my shoes or go through the whole body scan or anything.
Except I forgot to take something out of my luggage and that triggered a full bag search. It turned out to be Fabreze that I left in my bag. Well then they had to swipe my bag. And heavens knows that something in it. (no one knows what) triggered the machine. OH NO! So I had to be patted down. That’s always fun.
They were always polite and friendly, there was nothing unprofessional about anything and in the end, there was nothing in my bag that could have/​should have triggered the machine. So. Yay for TSA being on their toes.
