Personally, I'd rather my law
enforcement (military or civilian) be a little less jumpy, but if they are,
the solution is not for me (or the original poster) to comply with their
illegitimate requests. Rather, the solution is to fire the jumpy law
enforcement officers and hire ones that have more common sense.


The OP does not have the ability to fire jumpy law enforcement officers (at
least not those in question). However, he probably does have a pilot
certificate. It can be revoked at any time without recourse.

I would not bet my certificate that there would be no adverse consequences to
not obeying orders, whether these orders are legit or not. Not in this
country. Not now.
