I'd be very interested what would happened if he had a late night flight and came in the morning, and just kept going through the C/P over and over and over and over and over again... Are there rules against that? Can you opt out all day long? The opt-out party train?

Except that it's opt-out day. You are simply going through security, over and over. They have no rules against it, so it's a little like complaining that someone is asking for a tenth refill on a endless cup of coffee. If you don't specify...
And an arrest, along with the exact details is bad PR for them. It shows how much of a security theater they actually are.
