Seems rather extreme. The poor guy had only been refused entry - he'd flown in and done no harm on the inward flight, what made you think he would suddenly want to do so on the unplanned and unforeseen return? Or have miraculously acquired the means to do so between aircraft and the immigration desk, all airside?
What difference does it make if you think you don't know who he is? That doesn't affect the current risk does it?
