Hats off to the guy. That can't be easy to pull off.
See this is the thing. These people are proably nice, ordinary people, but put a uniform on and they are running to a script, often a dangerous one. For the script to run smoothly, the officer has to be in control. Lose control and the play comes to an abrubt end. Fascinating.

This thread deserves a bump.
This one guy goes through Homeland Security check points a number of times and videos the interaction between him and the, er, uniforms. It's just fascinating to watch the dynamics, as he wrests control away from the guards :D
It's a lesson in how to communicate with those who would have authority over us. Excellent videos. Balls of steel in this one: DHS Checkpoint Blog Entry 14: Obedience Training - YouTube
