It wasn't misreported. He brought a lawyer and threatened to sue. The airport did what it thought best, whether we agree or not. I don't but I am not the one with a lawsuit and lawyer siced on them.
Now he is getting blowback that he EARNED. He knew damn well what bringing a LAWYER into the situation would do. ESCALATE the situation! Now he is getting called on it and fools here on FR are defending him.
