The gate was within view and we saw they were finishing up and about to close the doors. We went through the machines and nothing was out of the ordinary. But the screeners saw we were in a rush and decided to seach BOTH of us. Okay. Fine. My wife's screener ran the wand over her, looked through her bags quickly as we both explained that our flight was about to leave and sent her on her way. My guy was power tripping and intent on making us miss the flight. He intentionally went as slow as possible (and I'm not kidding here, the guy was being a real asshole for no real reason). I told my wife to go to the gate to make sure it didn't leave, which she did and it took me 10 minutes for him to do his search. Power trip. We were lucky we chose two different lines or we would have missed the flight just because this guy's wife made him feel like shit earlier that morning.
