I understand the point of the check. I did not expect it, that's all. In fact I was just heading out when the employee approached me, so I said, "No thank you," as I was not interested in anything she was going to offer me.
I wrote the backstory because I wanted to ask this question, that's all

At no point was I hostile. I simply said, no thank you.
I did not assault her, nor did I once raise my voice. The staff was not there for my safety. If anything it is was for the airline's liability.

Yes, I am comfortable knowing that a thief could walk off with my luggage. It's like I'm do not want the police barricading my home because there is a risk of burglary. I do not wish to live in an environment of constant fear of risk.

That's good to know. I have never flown into SJU.
