It is hard to disentangle that variable from other things like season, time of day, size of airport, and of course n=1 subjectivity.

I think overall regional culture plays the biggest factor.

And in that regard, I far prefer SFO over any experience I've had in Texas, Atlanta, Philly, NYC, etc. It does not feel like the security agents are on a power trip trying to intimidate you or make you feel stupid.
