Ordinarily I'd agree with you.
However, no one thought a screener would block a passenger for writing "Kip Hawley is an idiot," on his baggie - until it happened.
No one thought a screener would make a lady remove a piercing with pliers - until it happened.
No one thought a screener would harass a flyer just for carrying cash - until it happened.
No one thought a sceener would try to smuggle a gun past security - until it happened.
No one thought a screener would plant "fake" cocaine in a passengers bag as a joke - until it happened.
The idea that a screener would harass a passenger for wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey sounds very plausible to me.
