RALRAL Detained by Police at US Airport... “Dragged Away, Felt Like I Was Being Arrested for Drugs”

[Financial News] YouTuber RALRAL recently shared her experience of being detained by police at an airport in Hawaii while searching for her lost phone during a trip.
On the 16th, RALRAL posted a video titled 'The Story of Losing My Phone at a US Airport' on her YouTube channel.
RALRAL explained, "I recently changed my phone. Since my daughter is still a baby, I thought I could just pay 200,000 to 300,000 won for her plane ticket and hold her during the flight, but she was bigger than I expected. I had to keep standing while she sat, so I barely slept a minute," describing how the trip started off rough.
She continued, "After landing at a US airport, I was planning to go to Maui. However, the flight was delayed by seven hours, and while waiting, my phone disappeared. Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is huge. I was running around so much that an employee told me to go outside the airport to look for it."
Following the staff’s instructions, she exited through an employee-only gate to search for her phone outside but was unable to find it. When she re-entered the airport and ran to continue her search, RALRAL said she was restrained by two police officers.
She recalled, "They treated me like a criminal. Everyone was staring at me. I told them I was just looking for my phone, but six officers showed up. People looked at me as if I was being arrested for drugs. The police asked what running had to do with losing a phone," expressing her frustration at the situation.
RALRAL added that she was then escorted back by the female airport staff who had let her out earlier. She said, "The woman asked why I was running in the airport, then told me to search for my phone more carefully and let me go. After being held for two hours and causing a commotion, I finally returned to my family."
Fortunately, RALRAL was able to locate her phone using the 'Find My Phone' feature. She explained, "There’s also a function to send a message, so I wrote a long, desperate message. I went back to the female staff and asked, 'You don’t have my iPhone, do you?' and she handed me my phone."
