Mike, from what I've read about this the TSA supervisor went nuts when Phil began recording the process, called the police, and the police arrested Phil. A supervisor should have the skills to defuse pretty much any situation, especially when dealing with the public. I place the blame squarely at the TSA supervisor's feet (knowing just how accurately the news reports anything).
