This parent has something in common with Amy Van Dyken and many others: he seems almost as upset by the agent's completely unnecessary rudeness as he is by her ridiculous version of the rules.
Fly a lot with kids never been a problem. She talked to me like I was stupid and a criminal.
Yet, knowing that, they still harass and insult pax and complain that pax show up at the checkpoint not knowing the unpublished, screener-specific rules.
Sheesh.

Groping people for bringing baby food makes no sense and wastes clerk time, during this short-staffed period when they have only 6 or 7 times as many clerks as needed.

But this is WHY they are failing the red team tests, and this is also why the lines are as long as they are. If they only searched for WEI, learned what IDs are acceptable so they didn't argue with passengers about NEXUS cards, put the WTMD standers to work, and quit worrying about whether people are whistling (happy tune or not) or shaking their legs, they could focus more on efforts that would both spot actual threats (if there were any) and pass the red team tests.

No! 
If I were an FSD worried about red team testing right now, and I read about MSP's near miss because of a mis-calibrated NoS, I'd probably be telling my folks to step it up and make sure our NoS's are properly calibrated.
IME, that's pretty typical for any dispersed organization subject to periodic covert testing. Word gets out about earlier failures, and everyone doubles down to make sure those vulnerabilities are addressed - at least until they've passed the test.
