Suppose he had been the Drum Major of the Band of the United States Marine Corps. Should he have turned his head, met the eyes of the president, and nodded? Or should he have followed orders, "Eyes front, and keep marching".

Now I admit the "offense" was trivial, but then so is failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign on a country road at three AM. But even trivial actions may have consequences; and when they do, the people involved have to suck it up and move on.
