Maybe not for long. In your case, what the judge said in response to filings in Linlor v Polson:
It is, and has long been, crystal clear that “officers using unnecessary, gratuitous, and disproportionate force to seize a secured, unarmed citizen, do not act in an objectively reasonable manner and, thus, are not entitled to qualified immunity.” That is precisely what is alleged to have occurred here, and it makes little difference that it occurred in the course of an airport security screening.
