This employee should be fired. They obviously do not take their job seriously, and their job is an important one. Screwing around with passengers like they are your friends is not acceptable.

I am an American and have a say in this. It doesn't bother me. I don't like the lines, I really really hate the lines. But the actually SECURITY CHECK part I don't care much about. I just hate that it comes with ridiculously LONG LINES.
