Hey, to all the people downvoting my comment: the article paints a pretty clear picture that this person was staying in the arrivals area which is accessible to passengers, and the reason for his arrest and prosecution was that he was embarrassing airport security. At no point does the article claim or even hint at the possibility that the person used the stolen badge to enter other areas besides the arrivals area. So why are you just "assuming" that the person entered other areas with the badge? We're talking about a person who has already been doxxed and embarrassed for their mental health issues. On top of that you want to add your baseless speculation that he did some crimes? And you don't want to give any explanation why you believe that he did some crimes? You just want to smear the man some more, because hey, let's kick him while he's down? Furthermore, I find it ironic that the people who downvoted me are giving me less courtesy than I did with my downvote, where I explained the reason for downvoting.

I am sure he stole the badge because he just enjoys collecting quirky things.

  The most likely explanation for stealing the badge is that it provides cover for hanging out in the arrivals area 24/7. The article claims that the man stayed in an "area" (as in, a single area, rather than multiple areas). Have you ever been to an airport? They typically have security cameras everywhere. You don't think the investigation would have caught him walking into the flight control HQ to perform evil maid attack on flight control computers or whatnot?

    No, I’ve never been to an airport. Could you condescendingly tell me more about them?

      Sure, no problem! Airports are these places where sarcastic internet commenters can go and fly away.

> So why are you just "assuming" that the person entered other areas with the badge? Because, as far as I know, it’s not illegal to spend as long as you want in arrivals or departures. So I find it hard to believe someone would arrest him over that. I agree we don’t know for certain based on the article.
