Let's see. No ticket to another flight. You are at your destination. All you want now is to get out of the airport, find some transportation, and leave. Amazing when all TSA would have to do would be to escort you out of the sterile area. Win-win for everyone concerned. Instead they bluster, threaten, and make a feeble attempt of intimidation through authority.
Congratulations on winning that one.
