I have been through OMA twice, once before the toys were installed and the TSA folk were friendly and courteous. I approach the checkpoint with a pleasant attitude and adjust from there.

The second time, earlier this month, they were cold. I got a good 30 seconds of magic flashlight on the ID. It is a single line that with both WTMD and NoS, they were feeding people through the backscatter as they could. One passenger would enter and the next 2 or 3 would get WTMD until the NoS was again available. I got the feeling that you could "forget" to put something in your bag and stall, thus giving someone else the lucky number.

I believe OMA was one of the first Flyertalk reports of the enhanced grope.
