Narrative:
While thermalling at 3;800 ft MSL above tsa glider port south of dfw in class east airspace two airliners became closer than I felt safe. Exact distance was hard to judge maybe under 1/2 mile. The two airliners were very close behind each other. Dfw approach should consider that the largest glider port in the country is located just south of dfw class B and should be cautious with airliners in this location.
