As a screener this puzzles the hell out of me. 3.4 oz is the limit. Somebody calls a bagcheck and I have the check the size of the stuff. Everything is 3.4 oz. and less, but guess what it's not in a zip lock bag. So then I ask, what's the point of putting it into a zip lock bag is it less than the "danger limit"? My employeer once told the public that nothing less than 3.4 oz can cause problems. God I love being a TSA screener

BELTS OFF, SHOES, OFF, METAL IN THE BINS, COINS OUT! BOARDING PASSES IN YOUR HAND!

Why do they yell at the customers?

Why??
It's called power tripping. Some people actually think that being a TSO we have some kind of power. Me.....I think otherwise.
