The other reason I like Mccarran- best TSA people. I’m guessing they realize that their jobs are heavily dependent on tourism and repeat business. They’ve always been pleasant the many times I’ve been through.
I know the TSA doesn’t spend so much time groping old ladies and babies and searching everything in your bag as they do in other airports. They do keep the security lines moving.
Leaving Vegas back when TSA was a new thing, after the x-ray machine, they stopped me to "search" my carry-on luggage. The bag was taken out of my direct line of sight, "searched" for 4 minutes, then returned to me.
Arriving home, I went to take the banking bag out that I had put my poker winnings in... the eight 100 bills that were in that bag were gone. Glad that I took winnings and paid off my brother on the spot for the airfare and didn't wait until I got home.
Never again.
