I can imagine that they went with "detention" but not arrest as they do not have that power (unless it is an air marshal). Then Port authority came on scene and had them take off the cuffs and let him on his way.
I.E. TSA idiots held him until authority could come and make an actual decision, or that is likely their defense. HOWEVER, it should take quite a bit to detain someone. Refuse to let them fly? Sure. Detain? That belongs to actual Law Enforcement.
Reminds me of the Ron Paul worker who got detained by TSA for "questioning" until LEO's came and said to let him go.
I'm going to try this at home.

rhino, doesn't your brother drive you around anywho?
Do you make him wear an uniform with the hat?
If I filed a complaint for TSA taking a five finger discount with my property (stealing my boxed ammo and knives) I would have been on the list and not able to fly at all.
