Agree.
But again, NOT all the facts are out. "(not) physical altercation" could simply be the spokesperson dispelling that it got ANYWHERE near, we simply DON'T KNOW. Best not to assume......
But I'm pretty sure you've been in this game a while. And ESPECIALLY in a post 9/11 environment, the cops can come for virtually NOTHING. Seen it all too many times.
As far as a "witness" or a "blogger" is concerned, it's like this;
"witnesses said they heard the jet's engines sputtering right before impact....."
"passengers said it was worst turbulence they've ever encountered, and they must have lost 10,000ft after hitting the air pocket....."
