Also if a person is found to have "artfully concealed" an item while trying to clear a TSA checkpoint is that issue not often heard by an Administrative Judge?
This isn't new. Bring a gun into the checkpoint, for example, you are arrested by local LEOs and charged in a state/city court.

And if TSA imposes a fine, that is administrative. If your charged for attempting to circumvent airport securty by artful concealment, that is criminal and goes to the local DA.
