Disempowering TSA

From Reddit

TSA Office of Civil Rights at (571)227-1917

TSA Office of Strategic Communications (Public Affairs) - (571)227-2829.

Blogger Steven Frischling called the Public Affairs number when he was detained by the TSA and State Police telling him that photography was a "federal crime". He was then immediately released with apologies.

I can't say that calling these numbers will achieve the same result but it can't hurt to have them handy. I dialed the numbers and confirmed both of them. Read his story at the link above to understand why it's important to ensure you don't give anyone the impression that you are 'secretly' filming.

Here's a link to the TSA FAQ. Confirms that TSA does not have a policy against filming/photographing the security area.
