Let's say he was undercover TSA. Which I'd say would be highly unlikely considering what TSA does and how they operate. But let's say he was. What exactly was his end game? Had you taken the bait and had a conversation about Ferguson what was he going to do? Detain you for having an opinion on a major news story?
TSA is about airport security. They don't give a shit what you think about Ferguson, the left, or the right. I'm not a fan of TSA as an organization and I've had run ins woh idiot TSA agents going through security but this is just plain silly.
As for it being some other type of undercover federal agent... your story still doesn't provide an explanation as to WHY they would be doing this to some random guy at an airport bar. Typically undercover ops are highly targeted. You don't get anywhere just randomly targeting strangers in an airport.
Sounds like the author needs an industrial strength tinfoil hat.
Another explanation? He was selling something. It's not uncommon for people to approach strangers with random small talk in order to try and all them something and abruptly move on when it's clear it won't go anywhere. It's also not unusual for the person I be a clean cut young white guy.
I used to get approached by people selling some crap Ameay affiliated ecommerce sales program a few years ago and it was always young, clean cut adults who would strike up random conversation at a grocery store, etc.
I'm guessing it was either that or just some random idiot. Nothing in this story screams you had a brush with an undercover government agent.

TSA is about airport security theatre. Sorry, had to fix that for you.
Sometimes, there is simply no why, there is just "because". Even/especially when govs are involved.
