Apparently the pilot tried to read the ID Badge, not grab it. Writers are not what they used to be and I'm sure the TSA personnel exaggerated the report to attempt to paint the pilot as the aggressor.

As you are aware, a TSA officer at that very same airport this week detected an artfully concealed knife hidden inside a jar of mayonnaise that a passenger was trying to sneak on board an aircraft. That is much more reflective of the type of dedicated work our officers perform regularly.

Several weeks ago while passing through ORD I overheard two TSA screeners going on break dropping "F" bombs in every other word of their conversation while surrounded by passengers. This incident took place right in front of a screening checkpoint as these two bozos were leaving for their break so I found a TSA stupivisor and informed him about what I had just witnessed. The stupivisor gave me a puzzled look until I expressed concern about the two screeners using profanity while on duty in front of our passengers. Suddenly the stupivisor saw the light and said, "Thanks for pointing those two out to me. It's very important for us to maintain a professional image and not use language like that in public earshot while in uniform. I'll go over and kick the sh*t out of them right now". I just walked away shaking my head in disbelief. Some people just don't get it I guess.
