You can always tell who the newbies are...they adhere strictly to the rules until they have enough experience to allow their own judgement. I will say that
Matb is correct, that is what they tell you to do in training. They also tell you that kippie bags must be out...nothing in the bin with a laptop...etc.
Iworkhere is correct too. A box does not hinder an xray image of an item. If every screener followed the policies exactly, there would be less inconsistency, but it would be more of a pain.
Also,
AngryDan is correct. The xray operator has the say on what gets checked, and arguing at the CP is totally unprofessional.
