Narrative:
Passing through security screening, xyz concourse, phl, without setting off alarms, I did not remove my cap when asked, resulting in arrest. Multiple factors resulted in the unacceptable result, however, a lack of focus from the support security staff contributed to conflicting directions and consequent confusion.
