Lol,
Bunch of comedians I see...![]()
Seems to me that it is entirely luck of the draw.
I have two friends who have had essentially the same thing happen and there was no fine at all for either one. One case was handled entirely by Denver PD and the other, except for the handcuffs while he was walked to a room by Denver PD, was handled entirely by TSA.
Looks like you got a good lawyer that specializes in this TSA stuff.
I can second Snowman78 below. I have had good experiences with him and his law firm. Yes they are expensive.
I had my CCW revoked during an issue. I got a letter from the County Sheriff (Arapahoe), and followed the instructions to appeal. Long story short I met face to face with the Sheriff, told him what happened, and I got to pick up my card a week later.
Sounds like things actually turned out well in the long run, kind of sucks about the carry rules at certain parts of the airport, but complaining about this will be like beating a dead horse
