Thanks, everyone. I'll reach out to the airport manager soon, and let you know how things go. It's extremely aggravating, being a law-abiding citizen of the United States, having absolutely no criminal history, and being treated like a criminal when I'm doing absolutely nothing wrong. And having to deal with all the stress these interactions bring about. Photography is protected by the First Amendment, and even if an officer blindly believes that aviation photography had something to do with 9/11 or is part of some nefarious plot, they are supposed to uphold laws, not create them on the fly.
