Airport spokesman Marshall Lowe says early reports are that West got into an altercation with a commercial photographer and a camera valued at more than $10,000 was broken.

The incident happened before West and his bodyguard, who was not identified, went into a security checkpoint at the airport.

Lowe says police are continuing to interview witnesses and West may be booked later this morning....

1. Kanye,

Stop making records and the paparazzi will leave you alone.

It's win/win for both of us.

2. I would have thought

the real issue would have been West having to buy two seats: one for himself and one for his ego.

3. Something needs to be done about papparazzi...

I know there is a Freedom of the Press, but there needs to be protection against these stalkers/harassers.

7. Nothing needs to be done about them.

Freedom of the press trumps anybody celebrity's right to stay cocooned.

4. Do you remember Kanye West back in 2003?

Here's the quote for those who may have forgotten:

"So look, you be all, like, LOA-DED, my man, and you come off all "Pretty please me!" Then what do you do? You let one go and it's all, like, puff! puff! And de place stink. You never apologized fo' that, my man. You never said one word of sorry."

You reap what you sow, Kanye. That's all I'M saying.
