I never said I was going to tell them your watch was stolen. I was going to tell them your watch might be stolen (it might be, how the hell do I know?), just like you'd tell the cops I might be doing something wrong by carrying around money.
I actually think the "hero" TSA agent might be called into criminal court as a witness for the defense. Or, at the very least for a motion to throw out the conviction on Fourth Amendment grounds. Then, the TSA agent might need to hire an attorney, and I see little chance the TSA, despite this being "on the job," will foot the legal bill.
