And made him pay an additional 700 dollars and miss his flight. Huge hassle as far as I can tell.

If you detained and questioned an innocent man and ruined his day costing him a weeks wages for some, wouldn't you do SOMETHING to make up for it?

A decent person would, a bureaucratic organization that is not held accountable sure wont.

It was the airline which denied him the flight, not the TSA.

JetBlue were total idiots about it, but at that point they were "victims" of this situation as well, and it seemed that the representative simply wanted to exclude him as quickly as they could to wipe their hands of the consequences of it.

If the TSA officer was being truthful when they said the flight would be held, then JetBlue may have just been ensuring that they could take of on time.
