this is some BS. You should have chastised her for not giving you a chance to ask for ID (sounds like she was out to bust someone...a powertrip). Explain that you didn't want to be a dick and that common courtesy still applies to people. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but before you ask anymore questions, I need to see some identification." is a lot better than cutting someone off and saying, " I NEED TO SEE SOME ID, NOW!" Tell her to get a life and stop trying to ruin your life.
What legal action could come of this?! You didn't answer any security questions so what are they going to do? "umm, yes, this pilot wasn't doing the TSA's job for them, you should throw him in jail!"
Shoot, the other day at podunk airport, USA I was talking to a father and son (12 yrs old) for 30 minutes. Just about flying and the like. The dad always wanted to fly but could never afford it when he had the free time and now with a kid, he was reluctant to spend that much on pleasure for himself. His son however, was very interested in flying...yada yada yada. I took them both out to sit in the airplane. They were both very appreciative. They could have been TSA operatives...I guess I shouldn't try to share the joy of aviation with anyone anymore. GRRR! Now I'm all worked up.
