The last time this happened to me at LAX, it involved an unaccompanied carry-on that TSA thought might contain a bomb. It took 15 minutes to find the owner in the bathroom. Meanwhile, no one was allowed into or out of secured area, only kept back a "safe distance" from the carryon bag...

Looks like another security breach.

I especially like the part not being let away from the supposed bomb. Just making life safer for everyone involved.
