Appearantly the man had been quite agressive, yelling at personnel, throwing over his luggage cart, banging his fists on windows and grabbing a computer from a workstation and smashing it on the floor.
As for americans visiting abroad, all americans I met overhere (in the netherlands) were friendly decent people. I've been to a bar with a well paid canadian icehockey player, he was very adaptive and took extra care not to throw his weight in dollars around. I also had 2 young US citizens stay with me and my (then) girlfriend like 10 years ago, they were very nice too, they only had a problem with smoking too much of the available green stuff here, so they spent half their time passing out on the couch, lol.
The only big problem I have with the US is their agressive foreign policy (which I can hardly blame individual US inhabitants for).
Next to that I sometimes get a bit agitated by the 'we are the best people of the world' attitude of some americans, often backed up by simply faulty historical facts. (example; I've had people from the US claim that they had most casualties in WW2 so they 'made the biggest sacrifice in ww2'(thruth is half a million US casualties vs for example 25-30 million russian casualties out of about 70 million total))
