Rananim, I think that is a bit harsh on security staff. If they have made a mistake, they should apologise and be dealt with using their disciplinary procedures. Thay are trained not to take any chances, so in doubt or suspicion, this would have been, in my opinion, the correct procedure in order not to joepardise safety. The pilot was cleared and he should be compensated and their name "cleaned", but if you name and shame the security guys, and have them publicly flogged in the media, this could lead to security staff being more reluctant to act when there is a real threat to safety, in order to avoid punishment if they are wrong in their judgements.
