I was replying to your speculative explanation, concerning the agent possibly having been a nervous flyer that had too much to drink as a reason for his attitude, nothing more. USSS agents should remain sober when in the public eye. Anything else would reflect poorly on them.

Yes, I agree. Actually, I almost prefer this explanation. Otherwise, this agent sounds like a product of the Clinton entitlement era. Anyone who threatens to use the power of his position to get people fired is acting like a thug. I thought Secret Service Agents had to be of a higher mentality and character.
