In no universe would I ever call that place, “zen.” LAX is my airport.

I once took a bag of corn meal with me on carry-on (the weight was too much for the checked baggage). I got pulled aside after the x-ray and a guy looked through my carry-on. He unwrapped my carefully bubble-wrapped bag of corn meal and started laughing. I said, "You aren't going to take this away, are you? I live in Europe. I can't make decent cornbread without proper corn meal!" He laughed some more and said, "Take it, hon. Make some fried chicken for me." Needless to say, this was an airport in the US South, where I grew up. Not all TSA agents are jerks.

Unless they've never traveled to the US or other country that makes you take off your shoes. I've only had to take my shoes off to go to the US

I long to do that, but I have to ask why you weren’t stopped by the packing supervisor agents

I had an awkward situation once, the metal detector went off every time I tried to pass. Took me some time to convince security that it was the metal part of my bra. Like, what else could have been? :)))

Possibly because they can stop you from taking your flight if they have reason?
