I may be on the wrong side of the consensus here, but I do NOT ask and I do not let them tell me where to stand unless it is a place where I can see my stuff.

I move myself to where I can watch my stuff. I do not move to place that in any way will violate the integrity of the process, but I will move to a place where I can see my stuff. They can scream and yell and coerce and threat. I do not care. I become a statue that can only say one thing: "Your SOP says that I must be able to keep my belongings in my sight. If you have a problem with that you need to get a supervisor and and LEO. I can see them fine right here."

I may have to test this on Friday. I saw they have the BSX here at BDL. UGH!
