I was on the ramp the other day and approached by a person not displaying a badge. She asked a few questions, and before I felt like I had a chance to ask her for ID, she chastized me for not challenging her. I fully intended to do so, but didn't want to be a prick by interrupting. Turned out she was TSA.
Long story short, I should have interrupted her and asked for an ID immediately. Don't do what I did. Ask immediately if you see someone on the ramp who doesn't look like they should be there. Don't give them the chance to set the trap I fell in to.
I don't know what, if anything wil become of this, but I think legal action is a possibility if they choose to pursue it. I had to fill out an incident report, and call the CP to self disclose. Save yourself the trouble and challenge anyone who doesn't belong. Tackle if they're TSA....
