Well, here's the thing, they didn't tell me why I was being detained... until I was allowed to go. All we knew was that they had confiscated my passport, and we were being held in a room with criminals, illegal immigrants, and the rest... so I didn't realize it was something as pathetic until they let us go.
We missed our flight by the skin of the teeth, and we were rushing (because we knew how little time we had), and kicking off would have certainly set us back some time.
Had there been longer between our connecting flights, we would have kicked off.
American Airlines just gave us the next flight for free. I actually really rate their service highly (first time flying with them - most legroom, friendliest staff, and best quantity/quality I've experienced - plus they were significantly cheaper than anyone else. - major complaint: /terrible/ film selection, though they said they're upgrading their entertainment systems).
