It's hard to operate with knowledge of what is dangerous or suspicious, and knowledge what must be portrayed as dangerous or suspicious in politically charged security theater. An actor bungled a line, but no harm was done.
I think this is the only time I feel sympathy for the screeners, when they have to juggle truth and the mistruths that they must act upon. Hard work.
One of these things is not like the other.

Not a very complicated thing to figure out. You miss the point: the supervisor could have handled it better by giving the screener a little bit clearer instructions rather than to show his a$$ in front of the screener and passenger.
