“I would not have given a false name either. No use giving them possible valid excuses to have “suspicion”.”
When communicating with a Federal officer it *is* a felony to give false information.
He was a short step away from a felony conviction, even though it was obviously in jest. Think about the teenage gamer that sat in prison for over a year because he made a joke about shooting up a school. He even said it was a joke. That is how close to a police state we are.

At the time, how would you know he wasn’t John Doe? I know a John and Mary Smith. That’s their name. In your book they’re obviously lying.
