If they moved on to another random passenger, there would be a 100 doctors on the flight. Once he was selected, they had to stick to their guns.
United handled the situation wrong, but after that, I don't have issues with how airport security dealt with it. The passenger was breaking federal law and interfering with traffic control. Not to mention that airlines get increasing fines the longer they hold up traffic. The man had to go, albeit because United are a bunch of idiots, but if he wasn't cooperative, force was reasonable. You can't sit there saying pretty please until he agrees.
And yes, being someone (a married man with children) who trades narcotics for sex does make me less sympathetic. It doesn't make United look any better of course.
