What makes it unusual? Maybe it is only unusual to those who draw a salary equal to a TSA agent.

He isn't in a mess. They exceeded their authority. He called their bluff. They let him go. He didn't even miss his flight.
The "mess" is the trouble the over zealous agents are going to be in if he pursues legal channels.
He was right and they were left with egg on their face.

Put yourself in the shoes of airport security. This guy had an agenda, his a conspiratorial activist. I'm thinking that harassing airport security should be a crime, a felony in fact. It distracts them from their job, and weakens our multi-layered security posture putting the lives of hundreds if not thousands of people at risk. While he was playing games real agents were tied up from doing a real job.

They were the ones who tied themselves up detaining a man they had no right nor business detaining. And once the situation got barked up the food chain he was let go and they were left staring at the walls.
