No proof he was intoxicated. Keep in mind they let him through AFTER he made the "bomb" statement. So it's possible they suspected he was drunk, let him through anyways, then changed their mind and tracked him down at the gate.

Substitute "changed their minds" with "called the cops".

Yes, but couldn't they keep him at security until cops arrived? Why did they let him through in the first place?

TSA is not armed or trained for confrontation, and if they have any inkling someone might be dangerous, they back off and call the police.

Bomb threat would be implying he is going to detonate a bomb, not that he has one.
Nice try

Freedom of speech card anyone? Lol he just said he has a bomb (tag sarcasm)

I don't think this is AS BAD as people on here/media is claiming.
Sure, its Aldon Smith and we've put up with BS before...

But lets think about the good side of this

1. Kap's antics are now out of the spotlight
2. We probably now get to pay Aldon for the bonehead he is, not the player

First amendment doesn't protect speech like saying you have a bomb in an airport. If you think it does, go ahead and try it next time and see how fast you get locked up.

But TSA can refuse to let him through security until the police come though.

As they say, sobriety is a process. Aldon just really needs some help. Let's just hope the worst is behind him.

I really hope so. I'm pulling for him. I'm concerned what the ramifications will be if this was yet another alcohol-induced incident. If I remember correctly, the team has been very supportive, but made it clear to him they would be strict going forward if he continued to abuse alcohol.

I am too, but it comes to a point where the Individual has to want it for himself.

Of course the worst is behind him.... After being given a second chance after gun and assault charges, then drunken driving charges, missed playing time and on the current watchful eye of the league, this genius shows his gratitude and thankfulness by acting a fool after apparently drinking and claiming to have a bomb in an international airport just a few hours ago.....

Lol, yeah, he's clearly on the right track now.....

Dude is a f-n idiot who doesn't even understand how great he could become, or maybe doesn't even care....

Obviously not as fast as we would hope if they still let people through security after saying stuff like that.
