Secure Area= Area between WTMD and the end of the CP
Sterile Area= Area beyond the CP
UnSecure Area= Before WTMD
And how would a passenger getting up and leaving with his/her belongings and leaving through the exit= "interferring with screening"?
They have every right to refuse screening at any point during the search. But they have to talk to a officer if they do so. If they just get up and leave the checkpoint through the exit, LEO's have to be notified but thats about all we can do as TSA.</font>
Somewhat correct...
Secure area is so close to the sterile area, that it isn't funny...
As far as getting up and walking out of the "secured area" unscreened, well that is just NOT happening. True TSA cannot physically touch a person, but you can BET you will have many TSA Agents around you to assure that the sterile or secure area is NOT compromised, and then many LEO's on the way...
