  >  It doesn't stop a private company

Read the story a bit more. There's the FBI and TSA being involved *which are government agencies*. There is a big difference between "getting kicked off the plane" and "getting kicked off the plane and getting arrested".

  > they are empowered to do pretty much anything reasonable to deal with the threat

Someone naming their phone "Free Palestine, F Israel" is not a threat. Full stop.

I don't care what your politics are, that is not a reasonable nor credible threat. If there was a credible threat the conversation would be different, but it is a tacky political statement.
