3) Had the TSO caught up with me, my response would have been to continue to ignore him verbally except to say something like "if you feel a crime has been committed, please call a LEO". I just want to be sure that there is no such law as "disobeying a TSO", as I would never want to break the law of this fine country, unless I was involved in civil disobedience of some sort.
  1. If you have to ask . . .
  2. Possibilities include (a) lazy, (b) know the rules better, (c) have a good sense of humor and think physical exercise is best for those who need it the most, or (d) some or all of the above.
  3. There is no such law, but some TSO's invent laws all the time (as do some LEO's, too).
What's your research project?
