We only know his side of the story, but my guess is there was some attitude involved on his part when he was queried about it. He was picking a fight and got what he deserved. Instead of "looking for bombs" like you say they should be, they were dealing with his grade school antics.
I'm not blind or I wouldn't be able to readily post here myself or so quickly. I should be amazed that you had to ask such a question, but then again I'm not shocked easily.

If there was "attitude involved" it clearly didn't result in his being issued a citation at the airport. So much for that line of thinking.
