A federal judge in California this week dismissed a lawsuit filed by a California resident because he was questioned by police following a squabble with another family who was waiting in a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) line.
Hawaii State Attorney General Doug Chin announced today that U.S. Magistrate Judge Howard Lloyd dismissed a nearly $100,000 lawsuit filed by Justin Ngo on jurisdictional grounds.
Ngo filed suit against the federal government, the Honolulu Airport and State of Hawaii employees following the February 24, 2014 airport incident, which he said subjected him to harassment, negligence, false imprisonment, and emotional distress. According to the order, Ngo was waiting in a TSA line when a mother and a child, who were playing, bumped his luggage. Ngo asked them to stop, the father kicked his luggage and told him to “lighten up,” the court document said.
Following the incident, Ngo asked a TSA manager to detain the family. Instead, he was turned over to airport police, who questioned him for an hour before escorting him to his flight. Later, Ngo asked TSA and Hawaii’s Department of Transportation for a police report, but was told that none had been filed.
“When standing in the TSA security line, it’s best to just keep calm,” Chin said.
Oops! “When standing in the TSA security line, it’s best to just keep calm.” Let others bumped and kicked your luggage, lighten up when told to do so because ” it’s best to just keep calm”! Oh yea, don’t ever filed a lawsuit, it will be dismissed!
