is there more to the story? no, i think i covered all the details in the original post.

Am I sure I was talking to TSA? Yes.

I have never had any issue in any other airport (I think I've used the priority lane in about 10 airports so far, with an infant)

for those that are interested it was in BDL.

For the most part, I assume this wont happen much as I've never seen that guy before at that airport and I go there often but any advice if this ever happens to me again as far as asserting my rights?

Lastly, I know there's a lot of TSA haters, but for the most part, I am not one of them, as many of those guys are just trying to do their jobs...
