And now for the facts…
If someone looses an item at the checkpoint TSA honestly has no responsibility for it. Then again, TSA goes through a great deal of effort to retain and secure lost items, and when contacted about them will go to quite a bit of effort to see that they are returned to their owners.
TSA does not “confiscate” things at the checkpoint. Each and every passenger is offered choices, only one of which would end up with the passenger not retaining their item. 1.) You can take the item out of the sterile area and deal with it as you choose. 2.) You can mail it to yourself. 3.) You can abandon the property here and TSA will deal with it. Claims that the TSA “confiscate” items from passengers is an outright lie.

Absolutely correct. It’s a small issue that we are working on. New x-ray systems are currently going out to all the airports that can accommodate them that provide more than one view of items going through.

The boarding pass can, but I don’t believe the ID will be allowed.
