Sorry, multi tasking - and not very well.

He was polite and followed all instructions, as far as interviewing, paperwork, but he did not do the scanner nor pat down. The TSA and another officer walked him away from the screening area and began talking - out of his range. He asked if he was free to go, and they said no - once in the security area, you must be screened. He walked anyway - subject to the 10K fine.

I thought the full story was on CNN, but a lot of the detail I read is not there. If I find the original link, I'll post it.
