    TSA is a national agency - why do they have different standards at
    different airports?

    Your story makes me wonder if maybe the airports have some say in what
    the TSA agents at their facility do, i.e. adding extra checks or
    looking for things that they don't look for at other airports.

    I think it's because of equipment/technology differences. The more
    modern scanners for example, require less intrusive-ness to the
    travelers. Sometimes a particular airport hasn't gotten funding yet for upgrades, or hasn't phased in the new stuff yet. I think the bigger
    airports generally have more updated equipment.

    Could also be a poor training issue.

    Certainly true.
