Scenario, you are selected for AIT and opt out, your carry ons are already on the x-ray belt and you are told to stand off to the side and wait, but from where your are standing you cannot see your possessions, you tell the TSO that and want to move so you can see your possessions and the TSO does not allow you to move.

The TSA website clearly states that ALWAYS watch your belongings as they advance through the x-ray equipment at the security checkpoint and for secondary screening INSIST that your belongings be brought to you.

Since this is clearly posted on the TSA website, the screener is clearly violating TSA policy, and by denying you the right to see your belongings, the TSO is now the cause of the interference with the screening process. You then request an LEO, explain to the LEO your rights as posted on the TSA website, that the TSO is the cause for the interference and ask the LEO that the TSO be arrested and charged with interfering with the screening process.

Just wondering how this would go over at the checkpoint
