You realize that this would make it impossible for any non-wealthy person to take this kind of action? $240 would probably come nowhere near covering his expenses (transport, communication, time) for the lawsuit.
$240k is nothing to the airlines and the TSA. The guy in question will probably see no more than a small fraction of this money anyways.
