It was the standard TSA experience, from security to the gate. It wasn\u2019t until I was through the gate that it got good.<\/p>\n<p>It was one of those gates where a large portion of the walk to the plane is outside, under a canopied walkway, and you board the plane from the tarmac. Right where the canopied portion of the walkway ended, a sole TSA agent was waiting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cMister ____, I need to see your ID.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>&lt;Rolling my eyes, handing him my ID.&gt;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cNo,\u201d he said. \u201cPassport.

It was one of those times.<\/p>\n<p>I laughed at him. Then I folded my arms and stared.<\/p>\n<p>Not speaking is among the most powerfully intimidating things you can do to a challenger.\u00a0 You should try it. Bullies can\u2019t stand it.<\/p>\n<p>I was sort of intentionally blocking passage to the tarmac, and as a line of people formed behind me, pressure mounted on this bozo to make a move.<\/p>\n<p>He handed me my ID back and scurried off. What a clown.<\/p>\n<p>Hey TSA doofus: Now your feeble attempt at bullying has a worldwide audience.
