1. Is there any proof that it was a TSA agent? Seems like he assumed that.

2. Can the TSA actually even "setup" anyone like this? I thought they were stuck at the security lines. I didn't think they roamed the airport, unless they were with dogs (and especially didn't think they go "undercover").

3. It doesn't seem like he ever got confirmation from them that they were actually TSA.

4. It seems to me that it's more likely he ran into someone who had more extreme, right-sided views than an actual "set-up."

With regards to #2, the NYT recently had this story on the increase in federal agencies running undercover ops. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/16/us/more-federal-agencies-a...
