Rules get 'made up' as they go. They do it with their own people and they admitt (in TSA meetings that we're not supposed to know about) that they feel good about themselves if they can take a SIDA badge froma pilot OR EVER GET THEM FIRED because of it
The SLC mangagment (names Earl) has a serious power ego problem and his minions are no better. I live in SLC but not based there so I only have to commute through, I feel bad for the pilots based there. Anyway, thats just some inside info im privy to about SLC TSA. Watch out there!!
I also commute out of SLC. I also spent 4 years working in airport ops in SLC. Earl Morris I believe is who you reference, a total a$$hat. I too also overheard many, many times right from the horses mouth (TSA) that it makes their day to bust a pilot's chops. You cannot be too careful there, I know firsthand. The TSA even has the OPS people on the lookout for who to bust. Wear you badge correctly, don't leave the footprint of your plane, always ask others to see their badge. They really do target pilots. It's a fact.
