While we all know that they can't ultimately stop you from flying unless they find WEI on you, they damn sure can inconvenience you and hassle you unless you give the TSO's 100% subservience. The TDC at the airport may be a lower class uneducated peon in pants that are about to split, but as far as you're concerned she's judge Dredd.
This is what he is saying: "No, we don't have any legal requirement to make you do most of the things we do, but we have ways of making you wish you had and will hide behind the canard of 'security' when we do."
