Plastic bins are cheap, if you run out at the checkpoint the TSA should buy more for you.
if it really looks fragile or it looks like something that needs a bin then we leave it in however I always ask the pax if its ok with out a bin if not then it goes in.
then before we try to take it out
yea they should but in the meantime we try to use bins for bags n things that really need them....
and when less bins are used the x-ray runs better because most people just get thier things and leave the bins on the rollers instead of getting them off and stacking them and when all screeners are busy working
