I wonder if you could sue the person individually in small claims court for intentional destruction of property press charges of assault (if he threatens you)?</font>
The TSA will have immunity for this. You will have to file it in federal court (US District Court). My guess is that the filing fee is $150. The government will file for summary judgement on behalf of the individual for qualified immunity. The case will be thrown out by the federal judge.

If you sue under a state small claims court, the judge will throw out the case based on improper jurisdiction and/or qualified immunity.

Ask a lawyer. They will probably say something along the lines of the above. Any lawyers?
