Rights Violation or a Complete Jerk?

So... Why wouldn't he just boycott the store? If you don't like their policies, then organize your friends and picket. What about airport security? Is that unreasonable? How about metal detectors to enter a school?

But, I agree with the right to be free from unreasonable search (usually by the government though), so if that is his goal he should have shown the officer his ID. The officer would have taken his bag and unlawfully searched it, where the guy would have had a solid case to take to the Supreme court if necessary.
