To detain someone under the Aviation & Maritime act the 'person' concerned must say his 'alleged' comment twice. In this case Mr.Orr said his unfortunate remark to the security officer, who then asked him what he had said and Mr.Orr,alleegedly and stupidly repeated his remark. The Police were called and Mr.Orr was detained.
To say it once was stupid, to say it twice, in his position,beggars belief....
