I am not a lawyer or law enforcement, but LOGIC (damn I did it again) would say that you don't want me to lose sight of my belongings since someone (TSA or a passenger) can do something to my belongings. Get it right the first time, or when the camera record is used as evidence in a hearing, it will show I was out of contact with my items and NO one could stop something from happening. As i tell them, I am doing my part to make sure they do their job - protect everything involved with air travel. Items left unattended could eventually cause an issue. My getting to my destination and finding something wrong, then filing the police report and having them review the camera PROVES their process is not secure. End of subject with them. By that point the groper shows up to play with my private parts.
