First of all, thank you for sacrificing your liberty and property on behalf of freedom - you're more of a freedom fighter than anyone who works or dreams of working for the TSA, and probably most of the government and military. I salute you.

Second, I hope you hire a lawyer to make the appropriately loud big stink over this - I don't understand the legal basis used to detain you that long without arresting you (what would have happened if you just did the "am I under arrest? No? Am I free to go?" routine constantly instead of answering questions), and I don't think they had any legal basis to confiscate your camera and equipment.

These people need to be taught a lesson - and these incidents are starting to get serious. It's time we declare war on the TSA. Enough is enough.
