At that point TSA, suddenly forced to play by the rules rather than rely on intimidation, decided to back off.
Kudos to RCFP for taking a righteous stand.
We have to remember Chris had a head's up that Fish did not. It is easier to think if you know something is coming your way instead of being caught flat footed.
