This is exactly what happened - he asked for a Menorah, the airport agreed, they checked with assorted organizations and attorneys, who noted they should give other traditions 'equal time' in presentation.
The airport decided this was too much work, and decided to pull everything down. The chain of decisions is pretty much ridiculous, but not the initial request, IMO.
