hissy fit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wobbly' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'bloke's right to maintain security limits' is the wordplay.
'bloke's' becomes 'his'.
'right' becomes 'fit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to maintain' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are controlled or maintained).
'limits' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'security' with its middle taken out is 'sy'.
'his'+'fit'='hisfit'
'hisfit' going around 'sy' is 'HISSY FIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hissy fit that I've seen is " American's temper tantrum".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
