They are more than welcome to throw their items out if they like, anytime before they bring it to the checkpoint. As for what happens once it is found AT the checkpoint, well let me ask YOU a question. YOU see someone setting a car on fire, do you call the fire department, try to put it out yourself, or walk away as it is none of your business?
Where is the difference between the situations? Why?

Lol, just where outside of a screening area is a TSO going to find a package of suspected drugs?

LOL, good to know that you as capable of making an innocent mistake as the rest of us. I was beginning to worry about you Tom, all that “stuff” getting in the way of a reasonable discussion. Now that you have that out of the way maybe we could discuss things.

It’ ironic that you make such a request when it’s obvious that you don’t really know much about the subject. “Lol, just where outside of a screening area is a TSO going to find a package of suspected drugs?” I don’t suppose you can answer that question, can you?
