EXCERPT:

LaJOYE: “Well, we’ve got thousands of inspectors, so you know, as a normal part of what we do, we don’t only just screen people at checkpoints, but we also have compliance inspectors who enforce a variety of federal regulations throughout the transportation system. So being able to respond to incidents at an airport is not something that’s new to us. We’ve talked very broadly about the number of firearms and prohibited items, we approach it the same way. If what begins as a simple reminder for someone to wear a mask escalates to a security incident, or an assault on a TSA employee or member of the flight crew, each and every one of those is going to be investigated. Many result in arrest and potential civil and criminal penalties that can result in thousands of dollars in fines.”
