Hmmm, I wonder how TSA would react if I wore REALLY baggy pants and went commando through a NoS? Is following their barked orders to remove one's belt and raise one's hands "interfering with the screening process" if they get a result they wouldn't like?
There's actually video out there of a teenage kid standing there with his pants around his ankles. Fortunately for him, he was wearing what look like basketball shorts underneath. TSO still does the hands-in-the-waistband' routine, rest of patdown, then leaves him standing there while he takes his sweet time doing the swab routine. I posed the same question: what if the kid had been commando?
If it were me, I'd just stand there until explicitly ordered to do otherwise. "Just following orders..."
