I'm so confused here. Why is American Airlines involved at all?

> surveillance cameras caught the suspect boarding a flight headed to Reno. American Airlines reported the theft to DFW Airport police,

Why is AA reporting thefts from airport stores to police? Does AA have retail stores?

> American Airlines identified Lowe as the shoplifter seen in the surveillance footage

Why is AA involving itself in identifying shoplifters?! Providing footage I understand, but ID'ing?

Seems like an error, considering the complaint doesn't state that AA reported the burglary. They were served a search warrant for records of everyone on the flight, and only produced this person's info.
