Then once you go through, ask a TSO if they can keep an eye on your belongings. I can't fathom a reason why a TSO would refuse, other than they're lazy or a jackass.
What happens when our stuff comes out of the xray? Who is responsible for ensuring that no one grabs something not theirs and walks off all while being detained in the WBI?
TSA needs to figure this out. TSA needs to make very clear what these machines do and follow PIA to gain consent.
