Why should the screener be responsible? What about the personal responsibility of the traveler; who could have easily requested a Supervisor?

You are assuming that screener was acting 100% on his own. Do you know of the breast milk case when the TSA manager refused to follow TSA procedures - procedures he did not know, and the screeners just followed the managers lead.

The screeners instructions to the passenger were either institutionally condoned by orlando tsa management; or he was completly rogue. I still say what he did was the orlando tsa management practice; the screener just had the misfortune of being the fall guy.
