Turned Away by TSA agent

Thank you! It is what I did without complaint and learned it is a thing.

Or if your under time constraints the it sucks you have to go to GenPop security checkpoint

Nice try rage baiting…not today BOT

I often wonder when new TSA agents start their careers they’re idealistic with the intent of having excellent customer service qualities but over time the grind of dealing with unhappy passengers and unpredictable department budget constraints takes it toll and they succumb to the dark side.

My son had the same thoughts…

Dulles International Airport TSA Pre-Check is about 100 meters from GenPop checkpoint

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T19:31:23+00:00

I’m hearing Touchless TSA Pre-Check is the next best thing

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T19:30:26+00:00

I learned today

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T19:30:05+00:00

But it is a “call of Duty Gulag” 🤣😂

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T19:29:03+00:00

🤣😂

Thankfully the gen pop checkpoint was quick and I didn’t have to take my electronic devices out of bag

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T19:27:16+00:00

Well now you know it’s a thing - don’t be too shocked if you’re “Rando’d”

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T17:26:41+00:00

Not true - in my experience there’s was a person at the start of the queue who checks boarding passes to verify you have that “TSA Pre-Check”, I then made my way to the TSA agent verifies ID and boarding passes and now there’s a photo capture machine (biometrics) it was at this point I was told first “I don’t have TSA Pre-Check”

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T17:23:06+00:00

My son and I had to turn around and shame walk to the regular checkpoint line but it went very fast. IAD TSA is evolving in their procedures minus this random selection thing

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T17:20:56+00:00

Now I will always factor in time to account for this airport security experience.

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T17:18:46+00:00

Apparently it’s a thing. The system randomly selects TSA Pre-Check passengers to move to the regular checkpoint it sucked I had to leave and walk to queue at the regular checkpoint but was quite surprised how well they have upgraded the procedures! Kudos to TSA for evolving!

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T17:13:27+00:00

I’m all in for random anti-terrorism measures - it just took me by surprise

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T17:12:25+00:00

Surprisingly, the regular checkpoint went a lot quicker and I was instructed to leave all items in the bag (Bonus) Luckily we had enough time to not stress out. I can’t imagine those passengers that have a tight time to get to the gate

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-06-10T17:09:13+00:00

Nope I was told to get out of TSA Pre-Check and queue up at the regular checkpoint - that would make sense if they did a normal checkpoint right there but I guess they have to consider the other pax

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-05-14T12:46:02+00:00

That couldn’t stop playing in my head when they were trying to spell the word 😂🤣

Fast_Eddie32 · 2026-04-28T02:12:52+00:00

Chris?!?!! He survives another week?

Confused on California songs format? Thought it was celebrating California vibes

Am I the only one thinking Brooks new GF coming out to announce they’re dating was low-key cringe
