I see no mention of repercussions for the passenger who reported the alleged text message.
The paranoia (or racism, whichever stupid thing was the complaining passenger's motivation) is getting ridiculous. When will airlines and airport authorities start applying some common sense when responding to passenger allegations?

And as someone else mentioned it's getting like the Boy Who Cried Wolf which doesn't help either. Or maybe it's the "Boy Who Saw a Mouse and Assumed It Was a Wolf"?

That's a very good quote. "See Something Say Something" only serves as an attempt at job security and budget expansion for DHS, TSA, etc. and adds to the security theater.
