They should be sent to prison for deprivation of rights under the color of law but a Federal Judge frowning at the TSA and telling them to get public comment on the body scanners is better than nothing.

Don’t forget 18 USC 241 (Conspiracy Against Rights) which by the punishment scale would generally rate it as a felony (greater than one year prison term possible). It’s not like a single TSA grope-monkey wheeled the rape-scanner in and set it up all by himself one day. There HAD to be planning and implementation meetings higher up.
(As an aside, am I the only one who finds 241 and 242 perversely Catholic in their implementation? It’s a *felony* to PLAN to violate rights, but only a *misdemeanor* to actually DO it.)
