How long before they pass a federal law to close security breach loopholes?

Michael Shane Lasseter, the man responsible for breaching security in Atlanta last week, is only being charged with a misdemeanor at this time because he broke no federal laws. Local law enforcement is still trying to find a way to bring more charges. How long will it take to pass a law making any security breach a federal crime now that security will be under that jurisdiction? There is also talk of civil suits against him, but you can't get blood out of a turnip.

He is a hero, he has showed the government that security is a joke. Someone should have tackled or shot him the minute he ran through the checkpoint. US airport security is as good as the method FL uses to count votes for an election.

well, when it comes to the feds, it usually takes a death or two, or thousands to wake them up. since this idiot lasseter didn't run thru the security exit and then KILL SOMEONE, we can expect little change.
