I also don't see how they could nail you for flipping the bird as that seems like that would be a 1st amendment violation. You're not threatening them, nor really interfering in the process. Nor do I think it would fall under nonprotected speech as it's not like yelling "bomb", "terrorist" or anything like that.
They might not like it and my try to hassle you, but I think this would be more like MKEBound's KHIAI bag.
