#3 I was playing "Whiskey in the Jar" on my concertina at a Civil War reenactment last year when a couple of kids came up. One of them said, "I've never heard Metallica played at a reenactment before".

#4 "when he persuaded officials that he was a rock star."

All he had to do is speak to the crowd. "Does anyone recognize me?". It would be a miracle if none of the airport employees let alone passangers could recognize him. Mettalica is a fairly successful band after all.
