There's no way to 'cover your butt' in U.S. Customs or TSA. Congress has removed protection for 'whistle-blowers'in those agencies.
You blow the whistle and you're out of a job. What's worse is members of the public you were trying to protect will keep saying, "There's more to this story than meets the eye." Just as if you really were guilty of something you should have been fired for.
