Mind you, I'd rather see common sense prevail. If some first-time/dim bulb flyer gets told to remove his jacket and he (ill-advisedly) cracks 'What? You think I got a bomb in here or something?', it doesn't have to be escalated into something it's not (a genuine threat, setting off a panic, bla-bla).

Same reason I personally don't have a problem with an otherwise-professional TSO rolling his/her eyes as he/she confiscates my water because it's 'a potentially dangerous item'.
