Nobody in the company will call someone out for using a non-TSO headset. The trouble comes from a FED who just happens to know what the FOM says about headsets and decides he doesn't like the color of your eyes.

Most FEDS are cool, but there are a few turds in that punchbowl.

I had a run in with a FED who was ramp checking 121 planes with absolutely no mandate or authority to do so. Turns out he was trying to set himself up as a whistleblower-raising a flag about how the FEDS weren't being hard enough on regional airlines. He was doing this to protect himself because he had been caught schtupping a subordinate.

The moral of that story is-don't give a schtup-caught FED a freeby, like a non-TSO headset. Make em work for it.
