"The author of this article is essentially pissed that no one finds him relevant. Next!"

And we have only his side of this story, to boot. I can, somehow, imagine him cracking wise in his earlier encounters with the security folks. A poor idea. So, he's an idiot who leaves a bag unattended at an airline gate. How stupid is that? Everyone knows you can't do that. So, he gets to go through it all one more time. Why? Because he's an idiot.

Does he get a little smart mouthing from the security folks? Yup. A little payback for the smart-mouting he no doubt gave them earlier.

Gestapo, indeed! He's an idiot who lost me when he left his stupid bag unattended, as a demonstration of his stupidity.

You have absolutely no factual basis to state that the author made inappropriate remarks to the security people — NONE!

And don't pretend otherwise!
