While I personally think that this creep should be put under the jail until he rots, I have to say that I think the 9th Court is wrong in reversing this one.
Not that broad. The claim they were still clearing the bag, particularly since the CTX targets a specific part of the bag for the alert, has to be credible.

I agree that the 9th Circuit went a bit too far in questioning the District Court judge's factual findings; however, they did send it back to the judge to reevaluate in light of the 9th Circuit's decision.
