Looking forward a TSA officer looking at me like an idiot for either not taking my shoes off or for taking my shoes off.
It’s comforting to know that no matter what I do, there’s a TSA agent who will treat me like I’m a moron for following the same instructions I overheard them give the person in front of me.
If you had to deal with the public all day long, particularly a stressed out public, you’d look at people at idiots as well. Just look how customer service and tech support views their fellow man. :)
I once had a very similar experience at GWB in Houston, except it wasnt even 4am. I was just highly confused when the lady started yelling at me to take off my belt.
As I was complying, apparently the right thing to say was not “Im sorry, they didnt make me take my belt off at XYZ airport earlier”, because Im fairly certain that response almost earned me a trip to the special area and an all-expenses-paid cavity check. To say she was unpleased would be a massive understatement

It’s a defence mechanism for all the hate they get.
Take your belt off
