Canadian Man Arrested For Attacking TSA Officers In Miami…The Day After He Caused A Flight Diversion

Some people just don’t know when to stop. Just ask 28-year-old Canadian man Cameron Dylan McDougall, who was arrested for attacking two TSA officers in Miami International Airport just a day after he caused a flight diversion to Miami.

Report: Man Attacks Passengers, TSA Officers In Miami The Day After He Caused A Flight Diversion

Last Saturday, December 28, 2024, at 6:45 am, McDougall began attacking passengers at Miami International Airport, including a senior citizen. There was no confrontation or verbal exchange; he just went up to people and started punching them. He then walked back to the TSA screening area and began attacking TSA officers.

He began swinging at one officer, grabbed his arm and then punched another officer three times in the face as he tried to intervene, police said.

A good Samaritan helped to hold him down on the ground until the police showed up to arrest him.

Speaking of police, the initial analysis reveals he was not intoxicated, at least not with alcohol…

Here’s the kicker: the TSA also said that McDougall had been involved in an in-flight incident the day before that prompted a diversion to Miami. While the airline and circumstances of the diversion have not yet beendisclosed, it is curious why he was allowed to return to the airport in the first place. The TSA added:

“This unprovoked and brash physical attack against our employees, who work tirelessly to ensure the safety of the traveling public and the security of our aviation system, is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. TSA is working with law enforcement and will pursue independent enforcement actions against this individual.”

McDougall has been charged with three counts of battery on a federal official and another count of battery on a person older than 65.
