a case of the media trying to make a story out of nothing
Heaven knows I'm no fan of the media, but I don't point the finger at them in this case. It happened, significant disruption ensued, and it turned out to be (IMO) a completely unjustified detention. I think there's more to this, the TSA won't say, AA probably won't either and it's already dropped off the 'front pages'. Hope somebody is keeping watch - ALPA ?
