Hasn't failed yet.
The two times I've had "secondary" screening, the STSO refused to do the screening unless we went into the "back" room. Told LEOs that, he did; and they were ready to escort me from the checkpoint if I wouldn't go into the "back" room.
So, my experiences have been different from your experiences;I prefer yours over mine!
