#2I had a similar experience - but never said anything about "bombs" and thus wasn't taken to jail.
I just tried to complain about one of the inspectors making a smartassed remark to me when I went through was forced to wait for an hour for enhanced interrogation while I missed my flight.

#3So the police lied about his actions and what he said in order to fabricate a crime, but forgot there was a camera rolling. And of course after having their dishonesty proven in court they keep their jobs. Business as usual, really.

The man in this case says he never said anything about "bombs" either. It appears that the TSA supervisor entirely invented that.

The victim/plaintiff in this suit claims he never made any remark about bombs.
The TSA agent made an original claim about a statement mentioning "bomb". And then later changed it something more sinister, but the plaintiff denies both.

When I first saw these cameras appear at JFK I was alarmed:

Then I thought about it and felt safer.
Now it seems even with the cameras, the TSA does what they please and aren't held to account.

#7I'm having a really hard time trying to talk myself out of the case that this was not only perjury and false imprisonment, but kidnapping.
http://kidnapping.uslegal.com/kidnapping-v-false-imprisonmen...
Kidnapping occurs when a person, without lawful authority, physically moves another person without that other person’s consent, with the intent to use the abduction in connection with some other nefarious objective....
False imprisonment, on the other hand, gives rise to a civil claim for damages. False imprisonment means the illegal confinement of one individual without his or her consent by another individual in such a manner as to violate the confined individual’s right to be free from restraint of movement.
dragonwriter below brings up 18 USC 242, "Deprivation of rights under color of law"
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights ... and ... if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

the police lied about his actions
That Kieser guy is just a TSA employee, not a police officer.

I love the symbolism, where the mountain of cameras obscures the original purpose of having a clearly visible exit sign for safety.
Beautiful.
