I'm counting more than one source:

1) Neil Godfrey
2) Burt Zastera, airport ops sup for UA - who seems to admit something happened, but that he can't say more
3) several other folks saying they can't comment on security matters
4) Airport PR guy who says airlines can decide who does and doesn't fly and that stories like this may become more common

The paper appears to have contacted all the appropriate sources, but some have chosen not to comment.
