Plus something like this is artful concealment which brings a new element into the mix.
What is "brought into the mix" by artful concealment?
Artful concealment gets a LEO involved.
Is artful concealment unlawful?
Direct quote from a LEO, "We get involved in artful concealment situations because it shows intent to get an item past the checkpoint into the sterile area. Whether we pursue charges or citations is on a case by case basis after interviewing the passenger".
You didn't answer my question. Is artful concealment unlawful?
Well since I am not a LEO or a lawyer, that's not for me to answer. I gave you the answer I was given.
Oh, okay. New question: Do you think artful concealment is unlawful?
Whether I think it's illegal or not is irrelevant. If the SOP says I need to do something, then that's what I do.
What you think about this is relevant to this conversation. I'm only asking for your opinion. Will you please share it with us?
Depends on the situation. Artful concealment in and of itself I don't have an issue with. [...] I don't have a problem with [someone walking down the street with a knife hidden in his belt buckle]. If, however, you are artfully concealing something in a deliberate attempt to get around security measures, if it's not illegal where you are doing it, it certainly should be.
I didn't ask you what actions you find to be problematic or what actions you think should be illegal.
Do you think artful concealment by someone as he attempts to cross your TSA barricade at the airport where you work -- an action like that to which you earlier referred as "something like this" -- is unlawful?
