Someone could have just scooted them away from the Kettles, ya know?
And thought I had a right to question the 2nd screening and the TSO's snotty attitude, when the items had already cleared the first time and were sitting there waiting for me to get through the WTMD. Other people ask/complain about retaliatory behavior on the part of TSA here, I thought I could, too. The re-screening just didn't make any sense.
And I would rather not slow down other people next time I go through there, but would like to irk that TSO if she's there.
You do have a right to question any TSOs attitude...but when for whatever reason i have had a passenger complain they their property was on the inside and they were stuck outside (last time it was becaue we were helping a family with a disabled family member get through the WTMD which basically stopped everything for a minute or two - I also retrieve the passengers property. Not that it would be rescreened, but so that the passenger on the out side could maintain control of their belongings.
However, the TSOs should not have displayed "snotty" attitude toward you. Simple as that.
