Several of my friends are dealers, and, YES, they do know the recording capabilities of the camera systems where they are employed.

Until the end of the process we are to remain in control if the bag/item. That the TSO eventuall conducted the search on the line, not requiring the woman to walk to another area further away from her elderly mother, is evidence she was somewhat lenient. That the TSO allowed the woman herself to throw away the items while still in the checkpoint was extremely lenient of her (btw, the TSO could get in trouble for these violations of SOP - and we are back to another question: do you want TSOs to follow SOP, or make up their own rules?).
So, again, in answer to your question, she took control of the items to bring the woman to a table to conduct the screening. It was not a confiscation.
Okay, it was not confiscated. The TSA, simply, STOLE an old lady's nourishment. How sad for citizens of the USA that this is allowed to happen.
