All in all, the article is remarkably decent and at least makes an effort to report the point of view of the OP.

One interesting thing:

Landon said the original call came at 2:21 p.m., and it was unclear how long the man was detained. There is no indication that he was combative, she said.
Notice how the sheriff has "no indication that he was combative" yet the TSA spokesperson claimed exactly that. I have no doubt which of those two accounts I put more faith in.

BTW, now over 100,000 views on this thread. I'm impressed FT stands up to these loads so well.
