You cannot just get up and walk away (think about it, you would be in the sterile area... duh...). I did not say you would be arrested, I said a report would be generated (and that would probably help you get on the LIST).[/B]</font>
I think by "away" the posters mean "away from the checkpoint toward the outer door of the airport." Certainly that would be allowed.
Where does the "sterile area" begin anyway? It can't be the airside of the WTMD, because people go there who aren't yet secondaried. Is it the last TSA/LEO "watcher" booth before you head to the gates? It seems most/all airports have those, IIRC.
And what's a "PARIS" report?
