Because:
>Nothing justifies the illegal detention
So the content of the flash cards is not relevant, but instead an attempt to justify his detention, to make the reader think the TSA made an honest mistake when, in fact, what they did was not an honest mistake.
- DanBC 12y agoThe court documents claim that TSA arrest / detention was reasonable and he got his payout for the police arrest / detention. The documents state clearly that the TSA action was reasonable because of the content of the cards. This headline - "I was arrested for learning Arabic" is almost dishonest. EDIT: as I have said elsewhere in this thread I think that he should not have been arrested. I'm not agreeing with the way he was treated. This post is just stating what the court documents say, as I understand them.
