I checked it as instructed and upon finding everything in its place, the police officer reminded the TSA employee he is still able to be arrested for violating Texas law and walked off.

I collected the rest of my things and thanked the officer for assisting me, he said not a problem, he was just doing his job. I thanked him again and asked where I could send in a commendation for him and said to check the Houston Police Website and gave me his Badge number and full name.
