Hi Richard,
Your kind of advice will  get one through the security check points 
99.9999999999% of the time as simply as you've described.

Best bet before one walks through the terminal door is,  take a deep 
breathe, exhale, relax and wear a smile for the rest of the way until yer in 
your seat and buckled up! :-)Generally it works as you know............. 
"you get what you give!"

Give a smile, the chances are you'll get one back and a no hassle trip. Be 
an A- hole and a grump you'll have a horrble flt and swear you'll never fly 
again.

Next time any of the crew are boarding a plane, stay loose, might as well, 
being a grump wont make it any better! Then make a game out of people 
watching travellers. Best entertainment and cheapest in the airport.

Watch the facial expressions of a conversation and you don't even have to 
hear them you can tell those peed off and those on a wonderful trip!:-) 
Kills time quicker than sitting around moping and grumbling about the check 
in. :-)
