Federal Agents pulling people out of movie theaters? I am skeptical

UPDATE, 2:53 p.m.: AMC has issued the following comment regarding to the incident to Business Insider:

Movie theft is something we take very seriously, and our theater managers contact the Motion Picture Association of America anytime it’s suspected that someone may be illegally recording content on screen. While we’re huge fans of technology and innovation, wearing a device that has the capability to record video is not appropriate at the movie theatre. At AMC Easton 30 last weekend, a guest was questioned for possible movie theft after he was identified wearing a recording device during a film. The presence of this recording device prompted an investigation by the MPAA, which was on site. The MPAA then contacted Homeland Security, which oversees movie theft. The investigation determined the guest was not recording content.

Well, that is dumb. How about just asking the guy to take off the glasses or leave? Seems like a pretty simple request.
