It's TMZ-- they just take photos when clebs or semi-celebs go through checkpoints. I don't think the reporter was 'upset' as much as making light of the 'story'.

It seems more likely that he alarmed or opted out than that he was given a secondary. As far as being all smiles, he knows in detail (and took part in) the torture of people in the name of the war on terror; perhaps he doesn't care about a patdown since he knows what our government is actually capable of and this pales in comparision for him.
