Yes, I've run into this at ATL as well. I agree with you on the "everybody freeze" part - there was nothing keeping me from moving except for a barking TSA agent. After a few minutes, we got the all clear, but not before a supervisor "addressed the crowd." As we all know, the TSA is great at yelling, but this guy spoke so quietly that I couldn't hear him. I'm really not sure what the point of the exercise was, except possibly to waste a few minutes of my life.
