It was federal.

Fofana was about someone not following procedure, thats all. Much of what was done at that checkpoint has been attributed here to the TSO's, and that of course is wrong. LEO's are the ones that took the hardline with Fofana, and as I have said before after listening to the recording that Mr Fofana sure seems to be looking to make a problem, and that there are several areas of the recording where there is time missing. No telling what happened during those missing minutes.

Now, is there another case out there that I am missing? You tell me.
I think you're confusing Bierfeldt an the $4700 with Fofana. Fofana involved a screener opening envelopes she knew contained no weapons and found passports instead. The judge suppressed the evidence stating TSA.exceeded the scope of its search.

TK posted the link to judgment on his website.

Like others have said, try the R in read before the W.
