It’s about time.
A Twin Cities man has sued the TSA and the Twin Cities airport operator for $506.85, the cost of missing his flight and having to buy a ticket for another flight due to a long security delay, the kind that have been hitting major airports all across the country lately.
Via Star Tribune:
In the lawsuit filed in federal court last week, Hooman Nikizad said his wait of more than 90 minutes on March 19 before he passed through security screening by the federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) made him miss his afternoon flight to Los Angeles.
“I had to buy a ticket with another airline to be able to make my destination and meet my obligations,” Nikizad said in his claim, which noted the TSA had limited staff on duty at the time and “only one body scanner for the regular security line [in operation].”
Nikizad, a resident surgeon with the University of Minnesota, said in his suit that the TSA and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport “have done a very poor job of getting passengers through security.”
This is surely only the first of many lawsuits to come. Can you imagine if lawsuits like this one started popping up everywhere as citizens across America starting fight back against this airport tyranny?
How long until the TSA would be finished? After all, if people can’t even make it onto their flights to begin with because TSA takes too long, then there won’t be much left to “secure” will there.

Who has the betting pool going for whether this case will be used to further erode our rights and dignity?
the TSA just announced that they are going to move the screening/sexual assault out to the parking lot or the road leading up to the airport. Can you imagine the traffic jams? You won’t even be able to get in line to be groped. Wow!
frivolous! why is he only suing for $506???
Just to prove he’s not in it for the money! It’s the principal of the thing.
Yup very smart. Higher chance of setting a precedent and being seen as a righteous suit.
They make you take off your shoes, hopefully he will sue their pants off.
TSA = punishment for buying the lies of 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan and other Israel-serving wars.
TSA is about policing and inconveniencing law-abiding citizens.
Why the H do people fly anyway? Cars will get you there. Boycott airlines and let them know why. We refuse to fly since gestapo airports started. If someone dies way off, we will send condolences. I tell folks we no longer travel out of our area and have flown years back when people didn’t put up with all this crap. We take shorter vacations if any.
