You're probably right, but since protocol is what it is, it would still technically be the passenger's fault the terminal got dumped. If TSA stopped dumping terminals because some dumb-*ss decides he/she's above going through security, how long do you think it might be for there to be a problem? At that point, we should just tell the TSA to go home, everything's good, those sand-dancers will never think of taking down a few of our planes ever again.
Works for me. I like risks. Let's try it and see how things go.
