If the agents say that the rule is X, they are unlikely to change from it.
I was getting at, IMHO, incorrect interpretation of documentation. In my case it was scissors at TPE needing “rounded blades”. Only those with rounded cutting edges were allowed - which means (to the security guy) that all scissors were trashed. Mine had rounded ends and were OK everywhere else. The security guy got his supervisor who agreed with the junior’s opinion. Next adjudication would have been with guys with big guns.
