I'd be very surprised if that ever happens. There have been a couple times when TSA went very quiet - John Tyner and Yukio Miyamae come to mind.

The guy is Special Forces. If he maintains that the C4 (and smoke grenade) were in his bag from the time he left Afghanistan until the checkpoints, they're going to have a tough time getting him to change his story. No waterboarding allowed!

I think the real fall-out from this is that we (pax) are all going to pay the price for TSA's lapse somehow.

'Re-training' for TSOs (instead of discipline).

'Re-education' for citizens who just want to travel by air.
