I mean very few people know that your doing this and it isn't going to change anything. In fact if someone was to get caught I could see some idiot bureaucrat at the TSA making more silly rules because of it. I guess though some here feel they won't get caught so I'm waiting to hear someone explain to their boss why they missed a meeting if they get caught doing this..

Keep wishing. More likely that the TSA will continue to make many people miss a flight because more people didn't get exempted from -- or self-exempt from -- this current SSSS garbage which does nothing to systematically improve security but does generally slow down the processing of all passengers (enough that some do miss their flights). Blame for delays or missing flights as a result of this should get directed to the right place -- blame should get directed at the TSA for these ineffective procedures that are just there to comfort the paranoid, insecure and apologists for government power grabbing or political CYA moves.
