a) They will make it a federal crime to tape (video or audio) within 100 meters before, during and after security stations at US airports. (They already have a cellphone and pic ban at most Immigration and Customs sections of airports when you enter and by and large people obey them for fear of being denied entrance to the US.) I am sure I write something here that they are already thinking post facto after this incident where they were exposed, (also the case of the terrified 3-year old blonde girl being recently TSA-molested), so I am not giving them ideas.
b) They do a "Joe the Plumber" on this guy in San Diego. They are going to IRS him. They are going to leak stuff. They are going to try to damage his credit score, attack his family, the whole nine yards, maybe even threaten imprison list. He will be on a No Fly list for at least 10 years (or until President Palin can have him removed).
Look, you just don't kick the Federal Government in the shins like that as a "little guy" in "flyover country" and get away with it very easily. The $11,000 in my opinion is just starters for this poor but courageous fellow.
