Are you referring to mirror neurons? And if so aren't they very different from the model of a bin or keyboard because you can model the feeling ( touch, taste, pain ) and emotion (happy, sad ) as well as the mechanical aspect of another person. Or a lot more complex as a person model would be built across many more sections of the brain I would think.

A large part of his job is to take control of the person trying to get on the plane. He has to be in charge of the conversation and the situation. He loses that control if the person starts acting like they know his job better than he does. If the TSA feel like they're losing control of the situation their typical response is going to be anger and / or they're going to start using the extra power they have at their disposal. Cue the latex gloves and a limping passenger.
