Are you sure about that? I think the anger he was addressed pretty much thru rationality out on the TSA's part. And I think it's quite obvious that supervisor disagreed with the opinion.

Sure, Rosa Parks sitting in the front of the bus and refusing to move appeared to be suspiscious and caused a red flag. It also sparked much needed change. And back then, people would have said that her moving to the back of the bus wasn't a big deal and she was just a troublemaker.

Oh how we repeat history if we refuse to learn from it.
