There are many, many suggestions about a stranger's behavior who none of us saw, and it was NOT reported. How do we get to "indignant"? There sounds like anger towards what is little more than a figment of the imagination people are drawing from very little information. We don't know what THEY did. We don't know what SHE did. Speculation about the possiblilties of people being unreasonably detained and hassled makes sense. Speculation about the a National Guardsman being over-zealous and perhaps rough makes sense. Speculation about a passenger being upset, and perhaps "indignant" and uncoopertive makes sense. To express the anger I've heard here towards someone we know nothing about, and little more about what actually happened, does NOT make sense. And the wand operates how it does. Ain't gonna help it be more sensitive to stick closer than is necessary no matter how "suspicous" the person. And the person "on edge" is no more in line for forgiveness of over-duing it than the person set "on edge" by that person. Tempers flare. People act silly. Nothing new there.
