Yes, perhaps you're right, technically, as far as the rent-a-guard at the head of the cue really isn't a DL employee charged with enforcing FAA rules / laws.
The same thing happened to me, actually - - A different trip from the one I mentioned earlier.
I was at LGA flying - something like - LGA/DTW/AMS/TXL. I had a close connection somewhere. A burgundy coated woman working for LGA airport, I guess, (NOT a RedCoat) at the head of the security line told me that my bag was too big. I went back to the counter, and, I believe I actually pulled a DM DYKWIA!!
But . . . . It didn't work!
I had to check my bag - and it DID arrive in TXL!
