Would your property have still been searched?
I have said on this site multiple time when a pax ask for a STSO the TSO needs to get one, period. And the STSO should not have tried to write on your BP (my opinion was the STSO was going to make you a selectee on your return, which is wrong).
But even so, even if a LEO was summoned your bag would have been checked, right? And that would have waste even more of your time, correct?
And as I have said, this is the management SOP, not the screening SOP. They still should have rerun your bag through the x-ray again.
It seems the violations in SOP saved you time? I know, not what you want to hear....
