27. He had, on orders of TSA, complied and moved into cloaking (exam) area. It was not public.

The disorderly conduct charge was for having the 4th written on his chest. In its opinion*, the court specifically discusses this, see: http://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/Opinions/Published/112230.P.pdf

*Edited to add: It appears that in my haste to post, I called the Appellate Courts opinion a ruling.... My bad.
