Until and unless passengers who have suffered aggressive assaults bring these people to court on a regular basis, it's going to continue. (Recall Angela Rye's pat down, filmed by a police officer, and how the screener hit her so hard that she was twice knocked off balance. You know those hits were in retaliation for the assault being videoed.)

If you read the document, you'll note that the Plaintiff had to effect a citizen's arrest of the screener because the police refused to do so, so don't count on any help from them.

Passengers who feel aggressively assaulted need to get the screener's name and get their Supervisory TSO (STSO) involved. The STSO is required by TSA rules to collect and retain ALL evidence and witnesses' names and contact information. But the passenger must demand it and be persistent.

Here are Sai's recommendations for requesting a litigation hold on CCTV coverage: https://tinyurl.com/y92ygv62
