My thoughts too.
I think that the person concerned made a bad call or pushed his luck a bit too far; one or two too many before he went to bed.

Without knowing the time-frame for when the 0.027 was actually recorded it is not hard to imagine that his BAC may have been somewhat higher when he was first noticed by the security officer.
