Would a traffic cop be aware of the laws of international navigation? I don’t think so. You guys are being somewhat tough on a cop who made an idle remark after he was harassed over his pocketknife. Sure, the remark was tactless but he did square-off by producing a valid police ID. That should have ended the incident.
One can only assume a breakdown in CRM between two law enforcement agencies ensued. That breakdown delayed a flight by forty minutes and stopped the cop and his wife from undertaking a vacation that was obviously overdue.
When you read the comments by “KEG”, a tale that is obviously colored with plenty of fictional license, it appears to reinforce the tacit suggestion of rivalry between the security guard and the cop. I guess this rivalry is based on the professional training that a cop undertakes in comparison to that afforded a ‘bouncer’ wielding a metal detector.
I would ask Keg – who are the…dickheads with too much power…? Sounds like the bouncer in this case.
