Is it just the monitors which are left on, or the entire x-ray system? (Yes, actually, I
am willing to believe that TSA is really that dumb.) That is, could a person put their bag through the x-ray when the checkpoint's closed and see what it looks like?
(C'mon, like none of YOU have lost something in a handbag or backpack and thought "if I had a few minutes with the checkpoint x-ray I could probably find it".
