Brennan's $500 fine is costing taxpayers untold thousands of dollars in legal proceedings and I'm sure there are more important cases that need attention than this little dust up.
I hope he doesn't pay but that could lead to a levy, not being able to travel, and no telling what other retaliation TSA would try to throw at the guy.
It's the US DOJ indeed for whom the USAs and their staff work. This $500 fine will have cost the government many times that amount to defend and claim. I wouldn't be surprised if this litigation cost the US taxpayers more than $10k. My money down the drain again due to the TSA. The US DOJ spent money to try to protect the TSA's ability to intimidate peaceful passengers.
