I'm not sure what I'm supposed to understand. Some guy was unfairly treated at an airport. A common occurrence in the US, so it seems. Now that story gets blown out of proportions (there are many similar cases no one ever reports here), and suddenly we're on a the verge of a genocide. Let's assume that's true. What prediction would you make and how much would you bet on it that would confirm this hypothesis is right? How likely is it that it's just some TSA agent ego-tripping?

Very likely. And that's exactly the point.
Ego tripping and law enforcement should be kept apart at every opportunity.
For you this got blown out of proportion, because it does not affect you. But if it ever will affect you then I hope you will remember this thread and what it feels like when you're part of the 0.1% and nobody gives a fuck.
And everybody is part of some 0.1%, even if you haven't figured it out yet.
