At least one district court has held that the plaintiff could not sue the TSA. The court stated the plaintiff should have sued the United States instead, but went on to state that such a suit would be denied because the sovereign immunity of the US had not been waived for suits arising out of assault or battery.Arkimedes said:That's just freakin rediculous. I hope they sue the hell outta TSA. More lawsuits = more money the agency loses which means that hopefully, they change their policies that much sooner.

Wolanyk successfully sued San Diego for false arrest after he was picked up in Mission Beach with an unloaded Glock 17 sticking out of the back of his shorts.
He was awarded $35,000.

Just goes to show you, their only interest is in "touching" you.
Wolanyk was arrested for refusing to complete the security process. A woman, identified by Harbor police as Danielle Kelli Hayman,39, of San Diego was detained for recording the incident on a phone.
