Mr. Elliott
I made quite a scene at LAX one day - effectively shutting down the only WTMD/WBI when they refused to let me keep my belongings in sight under the specific scenario you described. I refused to stand off to the side where I couldn't see my things.

It caused a bit of consternation on their side, but no ill consequences as I simply demanded that they follow policy. It was not my fault that they elected to shut all the lanes (except the lane I was in) down for a 20 minute period during shift change, nor to make staffing available to do their jobs.

Amazing how they found someone (actually, two people) to do the physical molestation in retaliation for my opt-out in short order as I made my voice louder and louder that I needed to be able to see my possessions.
