Good to learn that. I wasn't going to tip them anyway.

UPDATE: I just found out from what of the comments in the post below they are allowed to accept gift cards:

The Water Cooler ? Tipping TSA Agents ?claycord CLAYCORD.com

"They can’t accept at all. Except in the form of gift cards excluding gift cards that are Visa,MC, etc. They can only accept gift cards from specific places like Target, Starbucks, Burger King, McDonald’s, etc. Please leave your name and number so that the appropriate TSA can contact you and thank you for your donation."
