Any reporter worth his salt would have simply said "Please... PLEASE confiscate my phone. Please. I know my rights, and I will be all over EVERY CABLE NEWS CHANNEL in the country before the day ends. I'm a reporter, and I want to improve my visibility in the market, so do me a favor and PLEASE take my phone. I. Dare. You."
My thoughts exactly. Under what authority would the TSO take his camera? It appears to me that the TSO threatened to commit theft.
