Yeah, we keep it in sani too right before transfer. I just fill the line, bend top 1 foot ,( let that 1 foot run out, and lock the bottom by vacuum) then put it in carboy with beer, another carboy lower by 3 feet or so, and a cup to run off sani into from bottom part of line. I let sani off in the cup w/ little beer, then put it into second carboy. By "Cross contamination" I meant better than "opposed to sucking on the end of it. " Which you should really never do.( with beer especially)

I feel ya, I still use the clip with the autosiphon. I am lazy and starting a siphon with water or air displacement is just to much work for me...

I haven't had an issue with contamination yet. I keep the cane and hose in a 6gal pail full of water/StarSan until I need it, transfer some sanitizer solution out of the pail through the can and hose, and push the sanitizer out with tap water right before I put it in the vessel (boil pot or carboy).

I have an auto siphon, too. But, I get a faster transfer rate with the cane. I think it's because the cane leaves more of an opening for air to come in at the mouth of the carboy. Plus, I can use the cane clip to keep the tip up out of the trub and yeast for the first 80% of the transfer.

And you wont cross contaminate...

'causing a vacuum' to form? wow thats a nice buzz word but it has nothing to do with the auto siphon.

the auto siphon is pretty great. I think its worth it. But you are absolutely right.
