Is SFO not a TSA airport? Didn't know that. They say various stuff. They're training these guys better now and usually they're like 'do you have any?'. In the old days they'd say scary things like 'oh we have friends who deal with that' or 'I can't tell you our policies'. In my experience (sparse data here) california pat-down guys were the friendliest, sharing my take on the absurdity of the process and willing to go with whatever. My worst experience was with the chicago cops; they sided at first with the TSA manager and I think I came close to being arrested. I also tried to record them and that didn't go well. JFK and LGA 'male assists' are serious about their jobs but also cognizant of the law. Once the cops get involved in new york, the situation feels controlled and safe to me.
