The only time the contractor working the laser pistol has said anything to me is when I have placed the bags on the belt then reversed course intending to go out the doors (like, on 2 occasions out of 30). "You're going the wrong way!"
It's normally much quicker to put the bags on the belt and then leave instead of continuing up the escalators to the zoo that is the rescreening area, where you can be standing in line for hours. If challenged, I always say that I'm meeting a friend outside first. Going back into security from the main non-secure area means you have the option of TSA Pre-check, for a start.
