No the agent did not admit to being anything other than professional. The supervisor did say in his response that the pilot and their security man said he was. But then again would you expect American Airlines to admit they kept this legitimate Agent off the plane because of racial profiling.

One thing that is not debateable is this Agent was who he claimed to be. I know of no one who has not been threatened by some pilot or employee when complaining about an airlines miss doings.

"The police agreed with me that there was a legitimate concern because of his unprofessional behavior," the pilot reported. The operations manager, in a separate report, said a police officer confirmed the pilot's account.

Well, then, why didn't he have the proper identification and paperwork with him?

Since he's claiming agent status, he should have been familiar with how to travel and what documents he would need.

What couldn't he get it filled out properly in three tries?

Seems to me you're more concerned with "racial profiling" than with airline security. The angry Arab SS agent was apparently reading an anti-Christian book for Muslims. Seems to me this guy has an agenda, and so do you.
