If it's a crime to tell the VP his policies are disgusting and then pat him on the shoulder or back, then the SS agent should be fired for letting it happen.

I think the touching part was and is the real issue. I know it's only a small matter of degree, but holding out one's hand for a handshake is not the same as reaching over and touching a vice president.
