I passed through CLE security and as several hours early had pizza, coke and read a book.
Clearly TSA checked the Airport cameras and located me about 30 mins after passing through security. A chap walked up mid-pizza showed me a pretty gold badge but I thought he was joking so continued to eat (No Photo ID and no Uniform). He then asked me if I was carrying any weapons or ammunition and informed me that I was being detained and not to touch my back pack. When I rose I was surrounded by TSA agents (about 10) all about 4-8 feet away trying to look inconspicuous.
I was walked back to primary with my entourage circling me and asked several times if I had weapons or ammunition to which I replied 'nope' so they emptied my back pack of everything and swabbed down numerous times. The palin clothed chap had a smart phone (I assume) with an X-Ray image on it. Finally the plain clothed chap asked if I had an electronic cig and I replied 'yip' and pointed to the white cardboard box. He took it away scanned it and returned it and apologised. At no stage did they check my pockets or clothing so not very thorough if indeed they thought I had ammunition.
My pizza and coke were gone BAH!
