Escorting the pilot away from the Cub in handcuffs WAS overkill. A short cursory investigation would've likely revealed the circumstances of why he landed there and that same contact would've determined he was not a threat. I've seen this all too often though; when you have "security" guards that work a day in/day out mundane boring job and when the slightest thing happens that breaks up the monotony, they capitalize at the chance to utilize their training.

Did they have to handcuff and secure the pilot? Probably not. But then, I don't know what the facilities protocol is when an "unauthorized" entry on the grounds occurs. So it's possible the guys were doing what they were supposed to.

Now, if the pilot did land there because of an engine-out emergency and he can articulate that was his only viable area to safely land and he is criminally charged, we should then be irate.
