Some background: Some airports, like Atlanta, require pax to go through security after arriving on int'l flights. This person refused and was eventually escorted out by police.

I'm baffled - why search people leaving an area in which presumably no one could enter with anything dangerous (or are they implying: "Please return to the aircraft you departed to make a second go at detonating your bomb since you obviously failed to do so after many hours of flight.")
