Funny, since this was the TSA's exact response.

"Admit nothing"
"A TSA spokeswoman said she could not confirm whether Bird had filed a complaint, but described the incident as insignificant."

"Deny everything"
"The passenger was never detained by TSA"

"Make counterallegations"
"She said the man was "a little combative""
