OK, interesting tapes. I noticed the main one cuts off prior to the end of the incident. Makes me wonder why.

Without sound, it is impossible to determine much of what went on. A few things appear right away:

1. The lady does appear to drop the water on purpose, though it is not too clear, an whatever amount is was does not appear to be too much (less that 3 oz.?).

2. It appears that both the TSA and cop put their hands on the lady to stop her. Big no-no. Unless you are placing someone under arrest, hands off.

3. Making her clean up the water would seem to be out of bounds too. Public humiliation is not the right of anyone to inflict. The TSA and the cop had no right to sentence this woman to manual labor, even if she did drop it right in front of them. Sentencing is for the judge. All they can do is charge or remove her.

4. Too many people for one woman and a baby. A cop and the TSA person should have been enough. An unnecessary show of force against a passenger. Unless you are dealing with a genuine threat, keep the crowd small. Again, a humiliating condition.

This tape should be used as TSA training in how NOT to create situations out of nothing.
