I do not think this story would have gone national if the fake badge flasher had been a security guard or mall cop.
I can't ever recall a security guard of mall cop every physically touching me, x-raying me, or forcing me to participate in a pretentious display of his/her authority as a pre-requisite to allowing my passage into the mall.
They reap what they sow.
