This smells like a whitewash. Even if there's no law against impersonating an agent, the Feds can always always always find more things to charge someone with. I bet if the DoJ had charged this "53 year old" (wasn't he pretty wealthy in the initial reports?), a lot of bad stuff about checkpoints and groping would have come out. Lots and lots of women would come forward with stories, not about drunken fake TSA "agents", but about real TSA agents copping feels and so forth.
> Wagstaffe says it's illegal to impersonate a police officer, but not to impersonate a TSA agent.
Well that seems like a loophole that's begging to be exploited.
