I'm sorry, potato... errr ya potato. if a person can put you into prison with the authority of their word then they are an officer of the law. However cute way they want to cut that in the political realm is all fine and gravy, but lets not start defending such silliness in a public discussion.
EDIT: I'm aware that the TSA call the police and the police do the actual arresting... that is sort of walking around the point
- DanBC 12y agoAll the TSA can do is call the police. It's the police who put people in jail.
- soganess 12y agoYes, but if you called the police, had them showed up to a bag of cliff bars and fitbit, you think things would have proceeded the same way? There is a special legal status TSA officials hold be it expressed or not.
- DanBC 12y agoOP says he was verbally abusive to the police. If he had calmly showed police his bag of power bars and digital watch, and asked pooice to view the cctv, he would have walked away. (It's bullshit that being angry towards officers got him arrested; it's part of the police job to deal with people in distress and they should have managed it better).
