Good thing that all the TSOs are unfailingly professional and exhibit helpful attitudes appropriate to the situation, and help keep this great country safe.

Why would you need to skip around people who aren't even planning to interfere with the screening process? That would be illegal after all, and unlike the TSA, some people are law-abiding.

I think the wrong questions is being asked. The question that should be asked is:

What is required at a checkpoint?

Will a TSO remove liquids from bag if you do not? Yes.

Do you have to remove belts and wallets in order to be screened at AIT or WTMD? Anecdotes on FT indicate No.

It would also be nice to have a corresponding reference to law/constitution/TSA policy.

I've searched but haven't seen anything in one neat place... would be great for newbies to the horror of TSA.
You could always download the Screening Management Standard Operating Procedures manual that was ineffectively redacted and released online.

I believe on of the chapters specifically covers filming at the Checkpoint.

I never remove liquids from my bag. Most of the time I don't even put them in a baggie. They've never seen a word to me about it, even during this recent "crackdown" and you know they're seeing them on the x-ray machine.
