Mark my words: the TSA will eventually assert the right to stop you anywhere in the country, public or private, and demand Your Papers Pliz, and the failure to produce them will be a crime that will subject you to immediate detention. Down this path, if unchecked, leads Secret Police and everyone informing on everyone else to try and save their own skins.
