We all, especially myself, like to laugh & protest when someone makes it through the checkpoint with a mismatched name but this TSA checker noticed something unusual. Questioned it. Got a hostile response instead of a rather easy statement about the legal act that allows for the unusual ID. I use the Passport card just so nobody seeing it can tell if I'm going home or traveling away. There is also no question about myself being a citizen which has happened before...even though I have a typically arrogant NYC accent.

Now if the Agent/supervisor has been informed by the OP and proceeded with threats and retalitory acts I would fully support the OP is a campaign against the TSA but the OP brought about the initial confrontation.

I support the OP in this case. It may have helped to mention the MSRRA up front with a brief explanation that it allows an out-of-state home address, but it seems the supervisor didn't buy that line, either.
