If someone evades security, then the secure zone must be evacuated and checked, and everyone must be checked again because it's impossible to know what the guy did inside the secure zone.
The airport did not overreact; they simply did what they had to do -- to check everyone again. The entire event resulted from Lasseter's selfish, childish behaviour. If he evaded security because he were in a hurry, then future terrorists should just arrive late, too, and skip past security. No, that would portend a future of bombed airplanes, chemical attacks in airport gate/terminals, and perhaps more hijacked airplanes.
Unfortunately, the airport security still was unable to locate Lasseter on its own.
Also, I do not know the CFR's. I looked them up with the numbers people were quoting. They appear to be reasonable. Not knowing all the regulations (or not wanting to follow them) isn't a valid excuse for Lasseter to break them.

You keep seeting up straw men. I never said that not knowing the CFR's was a valid excuse for the guy. I simply said that the airport overreacted.

As for the CFR's, they appear reasonable to me as well. The issue is that Sbeck stated that any of us who did not know them was unintelligent and uninformed. Then, when asked which section was relevent, he refused. Then, he said "all of it" when clearly that is bogus. The guy was bluffing, and refusing to acknowledge it.
