Back in 2002,
I had a similar incident. Although I must admit that being marched at gunpoint out of the secured area is inherently preferable to spending a night in jail.
Contact the Wall Street Journal.
They picked up my story, which led to some interesting phone calls from newspapers, radio and TV stations all over the country, and a noticeable improvement in the behavior of the security agents at the check point involved.
Thank you and thank you again for posting this. I've been trying find this particular incident and the WSJ link for some time. I'm compiling a database of instances of egregious behaviors that are well documented. FT's archives are getting tricky to search.
BTW, please
anyone feel free to PM with incidents involving FTers over the past five years who got any kind of news coverage for post 9/11 security issues.
