Today in St Louis it was a charlie foxtrot. I opted out and moved to see my stuff and they started yelling in on me fast to wait in a certain spot; I was then told there was nothing they could do since the machine blocked the view but to his credit he called a supervisor quickly.

The funniest part was they would not let me walk through the WTMD, I had to walk around it. Every other opt out I have I go through the WTMD first, which makes sense but at STL I had to wait on a different guy to lift the latch on the plexiglass to go around.
