Now detectives believe he was on a flight to Charlotte. Investigators have the names of all of the passengers and will be matching driver’s license photos with the man on the surveillance video.

This occurred on January 18th, wonder what took them so long to go to the press to try and find him?
I wonder if she filed a claim, they assumed it might be a TSO, they denied the claim, she didn't let go of it, went to the cops/media...TSA looked at the tape, and suddenly...they can release the tape (magic! it didn't get erased, no TSO privacy to protect), find the guy and be heroes.
