Long story short, one time TSA incorrectly thought I carried a weapon into security. I didn’t, police were called and they confirmed it was a toy fidget spinner. A TSA employee who was never given my drivers license looked over one of the cops’ shoulder and jotted my info down. I went on my way but 45 days later I got a fine and a three-year pre-check ban. I fought the case directly with TSA, inc submitting a letter from LAX PD stating there were no weapons incidences whatsoever on the day in question. They dropped the Notice of Violation immediately. The pre-check ban, however, is unchallengeable. It should expire this winter but my hopes are not high that I’ll ever get it again.
