A civil suit by the TSA should be answered with a counter-suit for abuse of process, and a legal charge of Malicious Prosecution..

I wrote an article on S.B.1070 in May of 2010 regarding the catch 22 the law has created for police officer’s in Arizona along with the state’s stop and identify statute. The article can be found at:

In a nutshell, it appears to me that S.B.1070 now makes it possible for individuals to refuse to identify themselves based upon the 5th amendment’s prohibition against self-incrimination. In the past, the court’s have ruled that compelling someone to provide their name in the presence of reasonable suspicion was not a violation of the 5th amendment since a person’s name did not tend to incriminate them. With SCOTUS upholding part of S.B.1070 however, that is no longer the case. A person’s name will be a key piece of information used by the police in Arizona to determine their legal status and whether or not they’re in violation of other state laws based upon that status.
