My experience is that airport LEOs are very willing to jump into a real law enforcement issue, but get very grumpy if they feel that they are being called in for something that is not really a violation. Is this correct?
I'm with Spiff.. very correct. Most LEO's I know have as much respect for the TSA as I do, and will only step in in when called in for something truly necessary.
