All that said, it's only a matter of time that we learn about a TSAer pulling that stunt.
Most likely is. I'm going for training tomorrow which includes receiving the new badge, which according to one of my co-workers I meet occasionally, they will tell you don't pull any undercover cop style crap such as putting the badge in a wallet or putting it on your belt, along with signing paperwork and such.
Oh well, makes it easier to weed-out the wannabe power trippers now.

I disagree, the blue is much better then the white. White sucks at hiding dirt, blue is better. Since I only get one break as I'm a part-timer I don't have time to go change into a new white. You don't see white-collar people doing blue-collar jobs.
Here's my view...
A badge is a badge. Anyone can wear one if they want, but going around pretending you're law enforcement with one is an idiotic move and a person who does so deserves a nightstick to the back of the head by an actual LEO.
