Too many things to not know and that's why I feel people shouldn't throw stones. The guy could have done everything short of breathalyzing himself before he left and felt fine and adhered to the legal time limits.
Alcohol is metabolized at approximately .015 per hour. That means when he stopped drinking, if he JUST cleared .04, his BAC was .17. I would think that even a .05 or .06, he would still feel woozy.
And I believe they said an airport official called the police, so probably TSA.
