P.S., Sorry, T.J. Bender, out for the next two weeks. You'll have to make fish puns with Goalie.
I anticipate an apology more like this:
"We apologize if Mr. Emerson felt that he was inconvenienced by this experience. Our officers were concerned that Mr. Emerson might pose a safety threat and acted accordingly and appropriately in denying him access to the sterile area. We have been unable to corroborate Mr. Emerson's claim of being placed on a '24-hour no-fly list,' and can confirm that such a list does not exist within the TSA."
Also, wherever you're going, have a kick-bass time, and avoid the crappie airline food as much as you can.
