I understand what you're saying, and why you're saying it. But, from my view in the cheap seats here, you are looking for drugs.

Let me put it this way. As a TSO, you have two lists: things you're supposed to look for (like weapons), and things you're supposed to refer to a LEO if you happen to discover them while searching for the stuff on the first list (like drugs). The mere existence of the second list means that you're making a decision about those items and whether they merit further investigation, either by you or a LEO. I've noted in the past, for example, that TSA doesn't seem interested in investigating possible violations of digital copyright law, even while it is interested in drugs. Somewhere, someone made a decision that "a huge pile of poorly labeled DVDs" isn't worthy of investigation, while "a big bag of white powder" is.

And, as has been noted here, the distinction between the first list and the second list is a subtle one that isn't always understood, by passengers and TSOs alike. (Hence, the Fofana case.)

So ... I think it's a little disingenuous for TSA to claim "we're not looking for drugs", when in fact TSA has specific rules that say you're supposed to take action if you find something that looks like drugs.

And, yes, I'm being very picky here.
