B. If they try that crap on you, find the nearest Airport LEO and report them. If, for some reason, that doesn't work or you don't have the time....make a report to TSA HQ. With this whole new badge thing, they seem to not be messing around and do take reports fairly seriously.... At least that's what's been going on around here....

C. And yes, I have the pleasure of arresting TSA (actually contractors since screeners at MCI are not US Gov employees) around the greater MCI area. Several for warrants, some for speeding and being idiots once they got stopped, and one for having a TSA cloth badge in his wallet....and wanting me to give him a break on speed/running a stop sign....because....we were fellow LEOs..... He did go to jail because he had a little thing called a warrant for Failure to Appear....

I have (to the dismay of TSA Management) went to gates and pulled Screeners off the gates and arrested them for warrants..... Because the Airport LEOs would have gotten screamed at by their management had they tried it. Our Sheriff doesn't care....
