"At trial, Kieser was the first and only witness to testify. Municipal Judge Felice Stack acquitted Vanderklok of all charges within minutes of hearing Kieser's testimony. Vanderklok's lawyer, Thomas Malone, didn't get a chance to question the Philadelphia police officers and detectives who were involved in Vanderklok's arrest. Nor did he get to show the surveillance video that contradicted Kieser."
The video was never shown in court, and thus their dishonesty was never proven. Which might indicate the problem isn't just with the TSA.
A criminal case needs to be brought.
That Kieser guy is just a TSA employee, not a police officer.
EDIT: I'm aware that the TSA call the police and the police do the actual arresting... that is sort of walking around the point
If he had calmly showed police his bag of power bars and digital watch, and asked pooice to view the cctv, he would have walked away.
(It's bullshit that being angry towards officers got him arrested; it's part of the police job to deal with people in distress and they should have managed it better).
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.
It's amazing (and sad) we've reached a point where we see cameras and feel safer - not because it may deter the actions of criminals or terrorists, but rather those who are ostensibly there to protect us.
