If someone tried to hound me like this I would immediately find other airline employees to circle the wagons and resolve this without raising voices or escalation.

It is a major security concern if someone is trying to photograph your airline ID.

I never thought of the security implications of someone taking a pic of the ID? I know some employees don't like giving their name to passengers which I think is ridiculous, but I've got nothing to hide so I'll gladly give it to them. I probably would've let him snap a pic of my ID thinking it was just to complain about me but now I will never let that happen. Of course being chased down trying to get a pic is completely different

That was annoying as hell but then had me wondering...are audible alarms the norm or am I just annoying people with my "one and done"?
