He was even willing to voluntarily give his ID to the main TSO because, as he told that guy, the TSO was courteous and professional - clearly his TSO training didn't take!
I had to laugh when the pax told them he had lost the BP. An experienced TSO, like a frequent traveler, has seen wayward BPs floating around before. I've misplaced mine during flight before. If he had a password-protected cellphone, could they summon LE and force him to give up his password and display his online BP?
They could go to the airline and ask them to print out another copy.
