Too many "events" have happened that TSA lawyers can whip out of the bag to help argue their case before the Courts - butTSA's track record seems to be they do not disclose such events or SOP to lower courts; correct me if I am wrong, but TSA has always argued lower courts do not have jurisdiction.
Techincally, TSA thinks that any court doesn't have jurisdiction over them.

I wouldn't place a lot of faith in TSA's lawyers though. Francine has screwed up cases (almost blew the Moussaoui case) and clearly shows a lack of understanding for the law. Her deputy doesn't seem to be any better. In many cases, a lot of gov't lawyers aren't there to determine if a practice is legal but how it can be defended if challenged.
