The OP planned this in advance to see what the repsonse was, the TSA staff could have made the process difficult. Instead they verified his ID and rescanned the laptop, no secondary screening whatsoever or any threats. The second the supervisor saw a drivers license in the wallet they recoginized the OP was trying to be a smart a$$ and did not do anything to provoke a situation.
No, I think YOU need to re-read YOUR history books -- Ms. Parks was an activist with the NAACP, and took her action in response to their efforts to bring a case to court.
I regularly take the same actions the OP did. If ALL of us did we would have gotten rid of the TSA by now.
