I always take it out.
I have my 'routine' to minimize last-minute fussing around. Before I get to the TDC, I have removed my shoes, put my 'checkpoint' socks on, taken my Kippie bag out, any outerwear off and stowed in my bag. As soon as I clear the TDC, ID/BP (unless they're barking to see it) go into a locked compartment of my carry-on.
