Of this I can agree.
Maybe a brief detainment, just enough for an investigation to be processed to ensure he doesn't have the materials/intent to actually perform an act of violence, and once it's been concluded that he's innocent, send him on his way with an apology and one of those super-sized lolipops.
I'm all about due process, but I'm all about people exercising discretion at the same time. But otherwise, I agree with you.
