HZ123,
I think you're missing an important point. Alwaysairbus said that he was "furious and stressed for the remainder of the night" after this incident. When you consider the HF implications, I would say that this wasn't a good frame of mind to be in when certifying aircraft maintenance.
Airport security should be carried out in a responsible and professional manner and exist for the benefit and safety of staff and passengers alike. At the moment though there appear to be some individuals who use their "security" status for their own gratification and ego boosting, in the full knowledge that if you question them they can pull your ID.
