The crewmwmber has every right to submit a letter of complaint to the TSA with copies to the Airline. Likewise the TSA agent has the right to submit a letter of complaint to his/her supervisor against the F/A as well.
At the end of The day, I will wager the issue took no more than 3 minutes the resolve. Unfortunately F/As and cockpit crews are not exempt from inappropriate conduct... but again their are remedies to the bone heads.
It was very much his business! Please explain how a non crew member, going through KCM with zero or a half assed bag check screening is not the business of ANY flight crew? If you saw a regular pax sneak thru security would that not be any of your business either? Plus as has been said it is idiots like that that screw it up for the rest of us.
