TSA simply bends the envelope, without opening it, to determine if any prohibitted items are in it. Of course this only occurs if the bag receives a secondary. The other thing is that you must verify that the bag enters the X-ray prior to walking through the WTMD and that it is not rerun. Our policy is that when placing the bag on the belt that we inform the TSO's that the bag cannot be rerun and should be hand searched if necessary in a private room.
