But when she scanned them it came up red so we got sent to the normal queue anyway. No big drama, it was fairly quick in any case, but I'm still none the wiser about whether we should have been allowed through the FT or not.

Off-topic, but TFS security was a strange experience. The OH and I ended up in different lanes, the officer scanning on my lane couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. The officer scanning on the OH's lane seemed to be taking great delight in being as obstructive as possible. She was looking for the tiniest excuse to send people to the back of the queue to try again. I've never seen someone openly take so much obvious pleasure in making other people's lives difficult, and I've been through plenty of TSA lines in my time.
I was declined entry to Fast Track at TFS today despite my mobile BP saying Fast Track. Agent at the gate just shrugged and pointed me to the normal queue.

It wasnt much of an issue as security was fairly quiet but I would have been annoyed if it had been busy.
