So, because you can't think of a justification, the pilot must be a moron.
Let's see .....
"refused to be security checked" Whose version of events is that? The pilot? The security man? The journalist who wrote the story?
Refused to be checked at all?
Or to the satisfaction of the security man - who may have been sensible and reasonable, or silly and unreasonable.
Maybe the pilot reacted rashly out of sheer frustration at an over-zealous check?
Even if he did, does that make him a moron?
Unwise, yes. But a moron?
Not IMHO.
I have to put up with security checks in my job, and they are no more than time-wasting window-dressing which does nothing to improve security. Some security men are reasonable, others aren't and undoubtedly enjoy their 'power'. The quickest way through with those is to pretend you don't mind in the slightest and have all the time in the world to spare. If they detect the slightest hint of irritation in voice or expression, the time it takes at least triples.
