Asking for a manager is not necessarily confrontational. It's can become confrontational when the bigheaded, holier than thou, for your safety, TSA/LEO decides they don't like being questioned or asked for name/badge #. Thus my comments:
"It's not surprising because you know that the power TSA and LEO think they have..."
Tell me... what is wrong with stating to a screener that being sent to secondary 9 out of 10 times, because your flip flops DID NOT ALARM is stupid? If a cop pulled me over because I failed to use my turn signal while in a "TURN ONLY" lane I would tell him that it's stupid and I know the REAL reason why I was pulled over. I'm sure he wouldn't threaten me with arrest or towing or worse, threaten to call the TSA. He would merely run me for warrants and cite me or not cite me. I would surely go to court if he did.</font>
Since he was confrontational, he wanted to complain about the shoe policy. He had a chip on his shoulder going in, and his attitude toward the process, if not the screeners/LEO/Supervisor, obviously was showing. Of course you have now managed to turn this into your own problem. I guess you are also confrontational as well, and of that I am certainly not surprised.
