So you put your stuff on the belt
Then you complained you were on one side and it was on the other.
Then when they brought it back into your control, you complained about that too.
There was no way for the TSA to win this one. Had they left your stuff down there you would be posting how they didn't allow you control of your stuff. They probably looked at each other and wondered how long it would take to show up in one of those internet blogs.
They must get a kick out of reading stuff like this.
