That naval security guard was kind of a creep

I mean he refused to give this young girl's college ID back unless she went on a date with him, a girl he just met. He practically forced her into agreeing to go out with him.

I know.. my husband was ticked off at the character.. he hates guys like that.. guy was trying to be a "take charge" but was just an invasive creep...

Yeah he was essentially black mailing her into going out with him, refusing to give her ID back after she pleaded to him to give it back and that she needed it.

He wasn't kind of a creep, he was closer to being a stalker. This is the kind of guy who rapes you on a date and then tells you it's all your fault. Though I have to admit, I thought he was just going to get a serious ass kicking, not a knife in the neck.

I was wondering if, rather than just being a creep, he was suspicious of Paige's true identity, and thus wanted to keep her college ID card for verification.

No, he was pretty much just a creep. Unless placing you under arrest, no law enforcement officer has the right to keep any proof of your ID.

I'm looking forward to seeing Paige's reaction when the guy doesn't show for their meeting/date, especially if she finds out that he's been murdered.

I thought for a second he might be a rare thing in this show: a competent American "goodie". Was impressed that he had her spotted and seemed to be good at his job. But unfortunately he turned out to be a sleaze.

I don't think anyone on the American side has been worth a damn since the show started.
