The two images posted above do indeed look different. To be fair, we don't know which image was given to/taken by TSA. Maybe they were given the harsher original image (which they cropped) and InfoWars retouched the full-size version they posted. Or, maybe TSA retouched and cropped the image as has been suggested here.
Either way ... a fair use claim would still seem to be a strong one (IANAL).
