Do the aspiring Bin Police ever do anything about it at the time? Do you haughtily chastise the offending bin miscreants with a stern lecture? Or do you just silently fume at their lack of social responsibility and then scurry to the keyboard to vent your frustrations on FT?

I'll usually stack a bin if it's convenient but hardly consider it one of my obligations to the greater good of humanity. Besides I have a plane to catch.

This. I feel like people on this thread are somehow reading statements of "stacking bins is the TSA's job and they should be expected to do their job" and interpreting it as "I AINT STACKIN NO BINS. I PICK MINES UP AND JUST THROW IT ON THE FLOOR AND FLIP OVER A TABLE ON MY WAY OUT".

If the line is clear, I'll happily shove my bin to the end of the rollers and maybe even plop it in the pile if I've got a free hand. But if others are blocking the path, I'll get is as far as I conveniently/quickly can and then get myself out of the way. After all, there are people that work there whose entire responsibility at that time is to keep the line operating as intended, and who are being paid by each and every individual in that line.

To address a couple of the remarks which have been deleted; one, thread titles should be specific and descriptive and accurately characterize the subject of the discussion (FlyerTalk Rule 4), and, two, this is not an ATL or Delta Air Lines specific issue.

Thank you for understanding,

This.

Besides, I notice some folks are making harsh judgments on travelers they don't even know while giving lazy TSOs a complete pass.

Those TSOs are all able-bodied. Some of us pax, such as myself, can't lift one arm much above waist-height, and only with very little strength. While I make look able-bodied to you when I have both hands full pulling my belongings off and reassembling them, I am functionally far from 100%. Quit bad-mouthing me as a lazy inconsiderate pax when you don't know anything about me and have not walked in my shoes.

Must be Canadian travelers eh ?

Up here the CATSA employees working security actively manage and remove the bins post x-ray.

Having said that, I always stack my 2-3 bins up and place them on the cart just to be helpful.

The Pre lanes I went through this week at DFW and LAS had no bins so no stacking needed.

Your interpretation of the "system" is not universally shared. I've been yelled at by TSA staff for picking up the bin instead of immediately moving away from the belt so I stopped picking up the bin.
