We've All Thought About It

Look, I get it, airport security is never fun. Do you take your shoes off? What about your belt? How dare you have a bottle of perfume in your luggage! All the while, TSA agents are floating around barking orders like washed-up drill sergeants.

No matter how you feel about airport security guards, engaging in physical combat with them should probably be the absolute last decision on your list. Unfortunately, one passenger at Love Field didn't get the memo.

Assaulting TSA In Dallas

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas, 33-year-old Idress Vinay Solomon, a California native, was attempting to fly out of Dallas Love Field back to Oakland when he lashed out at security for a simple question.

Solomon attempted to pass security, and when asked for his identification, he stated he didn't have any. He was then directed to a secondary lane for a longer process to find out who he was, but that also turned up empty. It was at this time that Solomon began shouting at the TSA agents and turning visibly aggressive.

At one point, Solomon punched the back of the neck of a TSA agent who called for backup. Officers from the Dallas Police Department were already at the airport during the altercation and hurried to assist.

One officer attempted to subdue Solomon but was punched repeatedly in the face, breaking a bone in his eye socket.

Here are some screenshots taken from the airport security cameras:

A second officer stepped in to help, and was also struck several times before being able to take Solomon down and place him in handcuffs.

Solomon's aggressive behavior didn't stop there, as he reportedly spat on the officer's arm after being placed in a police cruiser.

If convicted, Idress Vinay Solomon could face up to 20 years in federal prison for forcibly assaulting a federal officer and causing bodily injury.
