The articles I have seen are based on the claims made by the pax and her attorney. At least some details seem "bizarre":

http://www.click2houston.com/news/mu...uring-check-in. (link seems dead now; I picked it and the quote below from an earlier post in this thread)

She said when she asked for the supervisor’s full name, the supervisor tried to remove the airline luggage tag from Correia’s luggage attempting to get Correia’s name as well.

"She proceeded to throw herself on top of my suitcase. So she could take the rest of the sticker from my suitcase. At this point, we're both struggling -- pulling the suitcase -- and I'm trying to get her not to take the sticker from me," Correia said.
I have a hard time picturing a situation where an airline employee throws herself onto a suitcase in an attempt to get a passenger's name. (If this happened at the checkin desk, did she not just check in and present ID?)

So I at least am not ready to pass judgement on this case.
