When you go through security, you take bins off of the cart and fill them with your items send them through the x-ray, then collect your items and you leave the bins on the rollers. If you can take 6 bins from the cart, surely you can return 6 bins to the cart at the end of the lane. (Thank you to those of you that do return the bins to the cart, or at least stack them up and push them to then end of the lane.)
With 50,000 TSOs, surely you can find someone to monitor the bins and stack them up when extra's are left on the belt...

People cop an attitude when the bins start flipping over because we "keep running the machine and are not paying attention" when there is 12 feet of open space for them to slide down to but just choose not to. BTW, I am paying enough attention to the x-ray machine and looking down the line to see if there is space for people to move down, it's not my fault that people are just ignorant to their surroundings and don't move.
I stand at the exit of the x-ray tunnel so I can make sure to grab my belongings before some TSO tries to do a snatch and grab. We've all heard the stories about TSOs stealing items from the checkpoint... In all of the airports I have gone through, there is plenty of room for others to walk around me, so what's the big deal? I can stand there if I want. On that subject, why do you keep running the x-ray when the area is clearly full of bins? There are multiple times in DEN, and other airports, where the belt is full of bins with items still waiting to be picked up. Why not have some TSO monitoring that process, so you don't flip someone's laptop on the floor?
