Perhaps there is a droplet of truth in what the TSA guy said; however, in this context what he did was a direct assault on the constitution and the bill of rights by a government official. IMHO that is treason. OP, please don't let this slide; talk with the press and the ACLU. Quite simply, you are the patriot, and they are the terrorists.
