There should be a publicly available ID for all TSA employees, could be nothing more than an assigned number. How else is the public expected to provide feedback to TSA?
I'd like to see a simple law:

Government officials (including those under private authority--say, private prison guards) have no official power unless they have their name badge properly displayed. If it's not showing John Q. Public can simply ignore them as if they were just another person. (An exception would exist for law enforcement whose badge came off/became unreadable due to the incident. You can't stop a cop from arresting you by spray-painting his name.)
