I wouldn't doubt it, even if I'm not familiar with that exact case. I was only pointing out that dealing with the arrest can still be a hassle. So, it's possible to still express your disapproval with various TSA security "actions" without getting arrested for foul language. Why give em any extra ammo? Especially if airport police are complicit (many airport police are viewed as not "real" officers by the regular police departments and hold a grudge just like TSA).
