Thanks for the cite.

For the purposes of this thread, given this decision did the LEO involved in the OP's incident have reasonable suspicion to ask for ID? Or was the LEO entitled to it simply for the purposes of filing a report? I'm a little fuzzy about whether the above decision applies at a TSA checkpoint.
