In the past few months, I've been debating (albeit with little seriousness) the benefits of leaving NYC for SEA.
While attempting to get through the security line at the Sea-Tac, with my flight already 5 minutes into boarding, I had a moment where I knew I could never live in Seattle.
I was in line at the metal detector right behind a middle-aged woman wearing glasses and a wedding ring. She attempted no less than 5 times to walk through the detector without beeping, looking around extremely confused every time she set off the alarm. The TSA official, also an older man, kept waving her in repeatedly, saying "check your pockets, m'am, check your pockets." I yelled, "Hey, take off your glasses!" About three times before she heard me.
She took them off her face...Then held them as she walked through the metal detector.
Not surprisingly, it continued to beep, and my urge to slap her and the TSA official increased fourfold.
Made the flight 5 minutes before the doors closed. Never again, SEA.
