I didn't.

There is nothing wrong with questioning rules and authority. Personally, I think that most of what the TSA does is a farce. It does make for good show, however, and most of the public believes it.

However, questioning the individual TSA members and rebelling against their authority in their arena is just plain stupid. They do not care and are more than willing to detain you, indefinitely, if you make a sufficient ass out of yourself. What, exactly, is the goal? Do you really believe that the TSA agent will go home and rethink his occupation or his rules?
