My first amended complaint was very specific, well-founded, and thoroughly researched (by me) beforehand.

Believe me, I know this isn't a done deal, but we may be witnessing new precedent in the making! Kinda cool, eh? This doesn't open the door for wild lawsuits against the TSA! This is a very, very specific and egregious case (gratuitous force forcefully striking me, inappropriately, during a pat-down), but it's important that someone stand up for our Constitutional rights.

Thanks for everyone's interest, and I'll let you know what happens next.

Capt. JL
