Each TSO should have a name plate pinned to his/her uniform. From past posts, Bart has mentioned that each name plate has the TSO's first name and unique TSA ID Number. I would pause long enough to get out a sheet of paper (keep one in my pocket for emergent notes), a pen out of my laptop case, and note the identifying information. Personally, I would love a TSO to attempt to prevent me from capturing this information or threaten me with arrest for attempting to capture said information. Their ID information does not constitute SSI and my capture of said information does not constitute a dangerous/terrorist act on my part.
