That security guy was entirely unnecessary! (If you can't have no dog, then mandatory dogs for everybody? But you have brought your dog! You have dog! You can stay? Yes?) But Bella really is a star :-) Was there room for her in front of/under your seat?

I get why your teacher was unhappy about you getting hold of a private number - but could she not have responded to your queries as well as complain about it (is this the competition your later post's about, or a different one, btw)? Hopefully if you email her back explaining you Googled for it (screenshots may help), she'll realise that while she's justified in being upset - she is not justified in being upset with *you*!

Your professor is understandably upset, but if you show them how easy it was to obtain their number via Google, they can take the steps necessary to remove it.

One of at least three scenarios is likely:
1) The phone company didn't do what they said they would do--I have personal experience with this one
2) They gave their contact info to an organization and didn't check the privacy policy or "opt out"
3) An organization they gave their contact info to sold it (Probably in violation or because of a lack of a privacy policy).

Screenshots would help demonstrate the issue. Most security analysts recommend doing a periodic Google search on your own name to see what is easily found online about you. The results are sometimes quite surprising.

RE: Security guy.

I can blame his management for not properly training him to a) interact with the public, and b) exceptions that are made for service animals

However, some common sense still should have prevailed in how he dealt with the situation, and all he got out of it was that he ended up looking like a stupid jerk. He gets one bonus point for checking with the supervisor on duty rather than persisting in his error. But minus several hundred for being an officious jerk in the process.
