Bart, I don't disagree with you that the LEO did anything to illegally suppress my rights.

However when the TSA Supervisor stated: "You can't write that here" and "Out there you have rights, in here you don't" I think it's pretty clear that a person with Goverment Authority was trying to suppress my rights.
