    They’re allowed to arrest you for something they completely made up. Probably not the safest hill to die on.

      These aren’t actually cops. They have as much authority as a mall rent-a-cop. They have no authority to make arrests. The most they can do is report you to the FTC (I think this is the right alphabet org.) and get you banned from flying.

      I think meant agent like flight attendant, not like air marshall, although I would be okay with giving them this authority.

        Anyone who works at an airport can call security on you and get you arrested. My ex with anger issues started going off on someone at the front desk and we almost didn’t make a flight.
