Regardless of your status w/ United, it was unnacceptable behavior by someone that represents the airline and is supposed to be assisting customers.

FYI, my new standard response to the threat of someone acting like a d1ck calling the police (or in your case the TSA) is to remain polite but say something to the effect of "Please do call the [police]. I have done nothing wrong and there are witnesses here to prove it [people start running]. I would love to watch you try and explain your behavior to them and for it to be documented for your employer and the public to read about." It's been a very persuasive argument on the couple of occasions I have had to use it.
