I believe we've had this conversation before.
Personal feelings aside, I still have to deal with TSA policies and procedures as they are currently written. They will get changed via a test case, or via a new set of bosses who decide to change the current policies and procedures.

I would agree -- merely refusing to speak to a BDO is hardly sufficient grounds to justify detaining someone.
