Trio of Hams almost make me miss flight The other day I had to go out of state for work. No big deal. I don't mind flying and I always try to arrange it so I can get to the airport an hour and a half to two hours before so I can relax, have a drink and read. A screw up in transportation however had me arriving only 50 minutes before my flight. No big deal, I have TSA precheck and should breeze through. That's what would have happened if it wasn't for a trio of Hams. They shall be referred to as Smallham, Bigham, and Dumbham. While waiting on line to get to the metal detectors a TSA guard tells everyone to step to the side as they hurry Smallham to the front of the line. She is yelling that her flight is leaving in 15 minutes. At this point there are maybe 20 to 30 people in front of me. When there's only about 10 people in front of me the line comes grinding to a complete halt. There's a trio of fats and 2 humans, somehow Smallham still hasn't made her way through despite being rushed to the front. What TSA was doing if you set off the metal detector they would have you go back out, have you check your pockets, handing anything over  and then put you in next. Humans managed to accomplish this task by their second try. Not the hams. So for every person that goes through, the next 3 attempting the metal detector are the hams. Smallham keeps setting off the metal detector while screaming at the agents that she's going to miss her flight.  After about 3 or 4 attempts with Bigham they realize it's his suspenders and tell him to take them off. He's struggling. He can't reach around his sides to unhook them. Dumbham doesn't get the drill. Each time he goes through he searches just one pocket and tries to go through again. He sets off the machine again, Smallham at this point has had enough and storms past him. TSA stops her and tells her she wasn't called and she has to wait. She throws a screaming, hair pulling tantrum, cursing everyone that she's going to miss her flight. The line grinds to a halt as 3 more TSA agents come over and tell her she has to go back to the other side and go through properly. She goes through and starts shaking the barricade. They finally get her to calm down and she is just arguing with one agent now. I'm 3rd in line. Dumbham goes through again and sets off the metal detector again. He forgot his keys were in his pocket. For some fucking reason Bigham has his shirt off and is spinning in a circle desperately trying to reach the snap for his suspenders. TSA is telling him to put his shirt back on. Smallham still hasn't emptied her pockets and sets it off again. She refuses to move away from the metal detector until they threaten her with the police. I'm second in line. Dumbham goes through again. He sets off the metal detector again. He had a giant fucking tin of altoids in his pocket. I'm next in line. Dumbham finally gets through. Smallham is crying to the TSA that her flight is leaving. Bigham still can not reach that snap. I finally get through. These hams held up the line for 30 fucking minutes because they're too stupid to understand how a fucking airport works. I got to the plane as they were making the final call for boarding. TL;DR Fats don't understand how to go through security at the airport and delay people needlessly at security.
