That would clear up why she felt a need to ask, but it doesn't answer why they felt a need to interrogate him after. It seems like a misuse of security resources. I have never worked in the airline industry though, maybe there have been incidents in the past that caused them to raise concern on this. At least the guy was released shortly after. Odd, makes you wonder what was going on in the minds of the security officials in interrogating him. I do believe that airport security is watched heavily. I have no idea, but it does seem very ridiculous.
I know I have read articles about the actual TSA having essentially secret shoppers go through to identify security problems. The security screeners end up forced into retraining before they can return to work if they make mistakes. I imagine that they are not allowed very many mistakes before they lose their jobs. I have no idea if these type scenarios are tried on the staff on board planes.
