Unpolite yes, but not enough to warrant a visit from the Secret Service.

Hence "Having his laptop taken is obviously not really an appropriate response".

Not saying it warrants a visit from the SS, but if I were Apple I would be concerned too. Some people could potentially distrust Apple stores because of this which would result in loss of business.
