It happens frequently enough (even if you don't do it at your airport!) that there is clearly a valid underlying security concern. It can't be just the over-reaction or tetchiness of an occasional 'rogue' screener, because this sort of response (to words or images) is routinely defended by higher-ups.
This would be a good question for Blogger Bob to address - enquiring minds, even ten-year-olds, would like to understand. @:-) (Unfortunately, the rationale is probably SSI and can't be disclosed).
It appears that you grossly overestimate my position with the agency. I have consistently pointed out that things like this are not in keeping with policy - to a lot more people than just Bob. I have no answer for you other than some people do not follow the SOP like they are supposed to. Whether that failure is a conscious decision, or due to a lack of awareness is something I can not tell you, for I do not know.
