Oh yeah, and they gotta yell, because that's super conducive to a calm and orderly process

Only if you don’t take it personally.

Folks in situations like that yell so that others in the line hear the correction. If they just say it to you, they have hundreds of people ready to suffer the exact same confusion, get halfway through making the mistake, get corrected, get their clothes readjusted, and then get on with the process.

That’s irritating for them, and worse, slows the line for you. So they correct people loudly enough to *prevent* some mistakes.

I wonder if having a big sign of what to do right as you need to do it might be useful here. Nah... that makes too much sense.

The yelling seems to be infinitely worse in NY. I fly out of Salt Lake and they could not be nicer about question. Even in Boston, TSA is nice. NY just a nightmare though.
