Still a much more efficient way to do it and I am sure you would be happy if it was your bag that was run through a second time as opposed to waiting forever for a hand search just because a completely innocuous object at a particular 2D projection looked suspect or unidentifiable.

Never once seen that at EWR precheck. Certainly an aberration.

Won't solve anything though as doesn't make practical difference vs PreCheck at EWR, as discussed extensively in the CLEAR thread.

Not United though. Maybe for Alaska forum?
