Did I miss something here?
Earlier this morning I had asked a Lebanese man to show a I.D.as he entered the building (I do security for a school district and this is the policy for everyone who enters the building).He acted very upset that I would ask.Later when he left he said "Thanks John" which seemed unusual because that is not my name and my name is posted on my badge. All that being said does calling someone John in Lebanese culture have some kind of negative meaning that I am not aware of ?

In my opinion, you're thinking too much about it. No, John doesn't have a negative connotation in the Lebanon to my knowledge. He was probably still feeling upset about that morning and just being a bit sarcastic, like 'thanks for nothing'.
In any case, John is a common name and people use it when they don't know your name generally. Maybe he didn't notice your badge.
