If they haven't come through security how can we fine them? If I made that kind of comment, show me where so I can retract it.

I have no control over that one. I just report everything discovered and regulatory makes the assessments.

If the person is intentionally trying to bring a prohibited item through, I feel they should be fined. Will it stop him from trying again? Probably not.
These are just my opinions, that's all.
