Here is the link to the TSA website where it specifically states under Security Best Practices, line 4
ALWAYS watch your belongings as they advance through the x-ray equipment at the security checkpoints - for secondary screening, INSIST that your belongings be brought to you. (capitalization theirs, not mine)

I carry a copy of this in my pocket whenever I go through the security checkpoint, so if confronted by an A.S.S if I have to opt out, they can see their posted rules and if they do not follow their own posted rules, then I will demand their FSD and an LEO, show the LEO the TSA posted rules and complain that the ......... is not following SOP and is thus interfering with the screening process.

The FSD can threaten me all they want with fines or arrest, but all I am doing is following their own posted instructions.

Of course we all know that TSA supervisors make up their own rules as they go along and if you question them about it, the rules are there, but you cannot see them because its SSI
