I don't know about you, but for me, it certainly was not a good experience
if I heard a uniformed airport service employee calling me "a__hole" for
some trivial event

P.S. Just curious, if someone gave me  the middle finger behind my  back,
but my friend saw it and told me about it, is it considered an insult? If
that person wanted to insult me, should he/she be giving me the middle
finger in front of my face instead?
