After being asked 3 times (1 pre-ID check, twice in the screening lanes) if I had any liquids in my carryons, I replied "no" too clearly and affirmatively for the screener's taste. She accused me of being rude and aggressive and summoned a supervisor.

When I asked for her badge number, she said I could write down anything I wanted but kept turning away so I couldn't read it. It took several requests for her to allow me to write down her badge #.

The supervisor then arrived and kept asking me if they needed to summon the police. I repeatedly stated that any problem was their creation and I had merely answered very clearly on the 3rd repetition of the same question.

After the supervisor said I could proceed through the line, the screener refused to allow my carryon to continue, even though the conveyor into the inspection machine was moving. I felt that she was deliberatively trying to provoke further problems. After a couple requests, she grudging moved the roller board slightly onto the conveyor. Well, it's on wheels. I reminded her it had to be all the way on but she continued to obstruct it and snarled at me not to tell her how to do her job. Eventually, she relented and the carryon (+ laptop + 2nd bin + laptop case) proceeded into the inspection machine.

Post inspection exit seemed normal until I was subjected to TSA-harassment-by-proxy at the hands of an airport policed officer -- "papers please" in the form of an illegal ID & warrants check. I reminded him it was an illegal stop, and he said I'd go to jail if I didn't comply. Asked what charge, he replied, "interfering with an officer". Catch 22 -- no other charge, but non-compliance with the illegal stop becomes the crime. I insisted on writing down his badge number first, and he promised me his card which was delivered.

Will fill in more from home later, currently in the ATL PC & gotta run!
