Narrative:
Flight abcd cleared into position for immediate takeoff on runway 1. Controller said aircraft on 5 mi final. Looked to right, no aircraft seen on short final. As aircraft crossed threshold/hold short line, commuter aircraft crossed in front and landed on same runway. Asked tower controller. His response -- 'did you cross runway hold line? Thought you had aircraft in sight.' I told controller he made grave mistake. Controller cleared flight abcd for immediate takeoff. Controller gave local phone number on climb out. Would not give call sign.
