We were just at Disney last week, PHL to MCO, and I find the requirements for what you have to take out of your bags so frustrating. It seems to change not only from airport to airport, but from one visit to the next. One time there were signs to take out all of your food and when we got up there they told us to keep everything in our bags, just to empty our pockets, and we were sent through. Most of the time we take off our shoes, but not all the time.
This time leaving MCO the only signs pertained to electronics. It even mentioned removing CPAP's from their bags (this must be new as I've never been asked to do that before). So we get all the way up to the front and the TSA agent asks me if I had any food in my bags. Umm, yes a TON! And in every single bag of course. So I had to go through every bag and pull every snack and piece of candy out into a bin. MCO is the only airport I've ever had to remove food from our bags either, but they don't always ask.
Just wondering why do the rules change so much from airport to airport and from one visit to the next? It just makes it rather impossible to really be prepared with packing. Luckily, Frontier didn't question my entire extra bag when I didn't take the time to completely repack everything after security. I just threw most of it into a shopping bag so I could get to our gate.
On a positive note, security in MCO was moving way faster than it had been on any of our visits in recent years. And they had posted signs with wait times which I found very helpful. I don't think we spent more than 15 minutes in line. Not sure if that was a fluke or if it's really just improved.
