Well you can certainly add things to the story that aren't there (as an outsider) and then make judgements about him.

He was there. It happened to him. He wrote his story.

You weren't there. It didn't happen to you.

That's all I have to go on.

"But the poor old guy doing the screening, listening to this guy grumble about everything, sighing, geeze, the screener is the "man",,he is just a regular guy, doing his job, early in the morning, being subjected to the citizen of the year, the great patriot, in a bad irritable mood takiing it out on whoever is there."

You are adding more to the story that isn't there, again.

" I don't see the screener as the "government..."

He is a federal employee. He is part of the government.

He was there. It happened to him. He wrote his story.

Let's rewrite that to be accurate as far as we know:

He says he was there. He says it happened to him. He wrote his story.

Well, I don't believe everything peoople say happened to them. The tendancy of people is to give accounts that put them in the best light, especially if they distort. If you believe his account because he says so, well be my guest.
