That judge with the dissent - what a moron. Maybe Rosa Parks should have protested somewhere other than the bus too eh?

Dude was braver than I've ever been, could have ended really badly.

"Nefarious actors." Judge seems to be unfamiliar with the TSA itself.

Had this protest been launched somewhere other than in the security-screening area, we would have a much different case. But Tobey’s antics diverted defendants from their passenger-screening duties for a period, a diversion that nefarious actors could have exploited to dangerous effect.

Yeah, the "nefarious actors" couldn't grope, er pat down, any women during that time.

Beautiful reasoning from that judge: Don't be a victim of a crime, as that distracts police from their work.
