I don't see that. Could you point out what makes you say that?
- epistasis 10y ago"The pilot seemed to be embarrassed" and "security deemed him to not be a 'credible threat'" were the parts that stood out to me.
- hackuser 10y agoThe former, and AFAICT the latter, occurred only after he was interviewed and showed them his document with the mathematics on it.
- ghayes 10y agoSure, but you'd imagine that if security personnel are called in, they are expected to spend at least a few minutes noting down what occurred in the incident. "They looked at the paper he was writing on" is very different from "interrogated him in a back room."
- hackuser 10y agoIIRC the story says he was taken off the plane, interviewed, and only after that did they look at the document.
