My comment might be pedantic nitpicking, but what the heck, we've come this far... > Hence I started out saying "sounds like" to signal my uncertainty Yes, your original comment "sounds like X happened" was fine. I replied to that comment with "The article does not make such claims", to clarify that -- although X may have happened -- the article does not claim it did. At this point you said "Depends on interpretation", as if the article could be interpreted to claim that X happened. You explained that one might interpret "secured area" to mean area accessible only to staff. That's a plausible interpretation, I guess. > I considered "secured area" to be non public areas as opposed to "place people wait to board flights after security" Nitpicks: The place where people wait to board flights after security is a non public area (it is restricted from the public; you can not enter that area unless you have a special permission to be in that area). The area where this man lived was apparently the arrivals area (not the departure area that you're talking about). The arrivals area is also a non public area.
