I am talking about tSA.
Contest a fine? Most tourists dont even stay in the country for that.
They will not be barred from leaving the country. They don't need to have any money at the time they are charged. They can contest it later, or not. It will not become a criminal charge, even if ignored. I have not heard of any cases where a foreign tourist was charged, at all.
There are plenty of scary, and potentially scary, things. This is not one of them.
