Was TSA making exceptions and allowing all those folks to get scanned or groped while holding their phones or their BPs? Or did the TSOs take the BPs/phones and hold them until the scan/grope was over?
I used to get randomly told I had to show my boarding pass by the scanner entry smurf, but not in a while.
