What is the difference between being “detained” and being “arrested”?

None. He could have left the airport any time he wished.
But he isn’t going to the planes until he gets the once over like the rest of us.

Arrest means to stop.

None,,, there are consensual stops where you are free to stop talking and leave. If you want to leave and are told you may not, that is an arrest according to long established USSC rulings.
It confuses many because they associate an “arrest” with being charged with a crime.
If an officer stops you, and says you may not leave, he has just arrested you no matter what new CSI term someone tries to use. Any reason he gives is the legal justification for an “arrest”.

That is a most excellent question, especially since the the latest defense bill was passed.
