State crime, state jury.

He assaulted a federal officer. That's a federal crime.

RTFA. State court. TSA must not count as federal officer.

TSA employees are not federal officers.

Yup, hit a federale, it's a federal crime ~ whole big bunch of 'em in fact. So, you want to make every ounce count if you take that route.

Frankly, I prefer doing other things ~ mostly ones where I'm not likely to get caught but will cause someone great emotional distress (or something like that).
