I would add a relatively new TSO job function to your list (don't know how much training is required) - the TSO who stands in front of or on the other side of the WTMD to block it.

Just stands there. If anyone accidentally approaches, he/she (only seen males performing this function) adds his/her loud voice to the chorus of shouts from other TSOs directing you to the NoS.
