The citation to the elements of the offense are relevant. And, as an individual, you can't file charges against anyone. You *can* arrest them. But you *can't* file charges. So, after you arrest them, you need to persuade a prosecutor (title varies depending on jurisdiction, etc.) to file charges. As much as I think this entire "security" scare is stupid, I am afraid that making a criminal arrest (on these particular grounds) is not likely to succeed.
