OK-So the BDO calls over an airport police officer to speak with you because you are being 'uncooperative'. I know that you are required to identify yourself to an LEO; however, can the BDO use the officer to try to compel you to answer their questions upon threat of detention should you refuse to do so? Can the BDO get your personal information from the LEO without your consent and use it without your consent?

I know that may sound ridiculous, but no more so than a total stranger expecting me to engage their questions if I choose not to.

I can't wait for someone to take this to court and challenge it. I'd really love to see a BDO (or rogue LEO) get held financially responsible for a person's ruined travel plans. I don't know about you all, but I often book the non-refundable rooms because they can be quite a bit cheaper.
