You're right. There is an inconsistency. It's a judgment call by the screener, so it's going to vary from lane to lane. Should it be that way? No. But it is. As far as the BS you speak of, it is clearly written in the SOP how it's supposed to be done. It also says that no FSD can stray from this method. I'm sure you know more about this than I do though. I've only worked for the TSA for 2 years...
