Really? The Broward County Sheriff's deputy at FLL, while not facilitating your patdown, did not terminate your illegal detention. Offering to watch is not the same as stopping illegality. If you have cases of a police officer stopping TSA from criminal acts, or arresting TSA members for their actions at the checkpoint, please post.
I maintain that *most* police at checkpoints have no real knowledge of what they are supposed to enforce or do, and are thus just TSA's hired muscle.
