Also why would a DL agent stand and watch yiu repack everything. Why did need to repack everything anyway? Per OP description the only item at issue would be their meal. (Which is an allowed exception to the one carry on and one personal item rule) Why not just stuff the meal quickly in carry on?

Also the user just joined to post this. While this could be legit, there's just too many flags.
