Then again, I doubt most screeners are practiced liars and would probably cave under *thorough* police questioning (doubtful to happen) or skillful cross-examination.
There is no bounty. Another popular urban legend.
I think that it's possible to find one overzealous screener who would take it upon himself or herself to initiate a bag check solely to find out if there were drugs in the bag. I don't think a second screener would go along with it to the point of lying on a sworn statement to cover for that first screener. Could be wrong on that; however, falsifying a sworn statement is grounds for immediate termination of employment as well as grounds for criminal charges.
