I could have stuffed my wallet, cell phone, etc etc into my backpack but I just put them in my coat pockets.

Anyway, at least I did not get hassled any further. Just pointing out another data point about how TSA SOP is "go for the low hanging fruit".

Also I took some pictures of the C/P before I got into the line and did not get approached, so at least that's good too.
