My name is Scott Klippel. I represent passengers who were found with firearms at TSA passenger security checkpoints in the civil proceedings that TSA initiates against them. These proceedings involve the issuance by TSA of a Notice of Violation which seeks to impose a civil monetary penalty. I am not involved in any defense regarding criminal charges which might have been filed against the passenger.
I started TSA NOV Defense shortly after I left the Transportation Security Administration in April, 2013. I was an attorney with TSA from its inception in 2002 and I was in charge of TSA’s Chief Counsel’s Office Notice of Violation Program from July, 2007 until I left TSA. During that time period, on behalf of TSA, I handled over 4,500 NOV cases through the Informal Conference process.
I graduated from the University of Texas School of Law in 1976. (Hook’em Horns). After law school, I spent 5 years with the Kings County (Brooklyn, NY) District Attorney’s Office; when I left, I was in the Homicide Bureau where I was responsible for trying only murder cases. I was fortunate to be able to return to Austin where I worked for the Texas Prosecutor Council and the Texas Attorney General’s Office. In 1985, I opened my private law office in Austin for the practice of criminal defense. In 2000, I moved to the Washington DC area and worked for the U.S. Department of Justice. Shortly after 9/11 and the creation of the Transportation Security Administration, I joined TSA’s Office of Chief Counsel.
When I retired from TSA, I moved to the Holy Land. Feel free to confirm this at the Texas Bar website - . Click on "Find a Lawyer", enter my name and you will see the Texas Bar has my office listed as in Jerusalem, Israel and that I have been licensed in Texas since 1976.
I would be most happy to provide you, without charge, with an overview of TSA’s Notice of Violation process, so that you can better understand what you or your client is facing and can make an intelligent decision on how you wish to proceed with the NOV that was issued or will be issued.
My flat fee for representing someone is $400 and is payable throught PayPal.
I look forward to talking to you.

Simply Fantastic
I worked with Scott to settle a TSA NOV case, throughout the entire process he was fast to respond, extremely knowledgeable, and transparent. Everything was resolved quickly and easily - Scott talked me through everything I needed to do on my end but honestly I felt like he did all the heavy lifting....

Delivered Exactly What He Promised
I contacted Scott after forgetting something I should never forgotten. If you're looking at this review, you know what that is. Scott was very clear on the process and what he will do during his representation. The issue played out precisely as he explained. He resolved my matter in a very timely man...

Delivers on his promise. Simply the best at what he does.
Very experienced and an expert what he does. Most likely because he now works directly with TSA prosecutors, a job he once held. Answers his own phone. Very surprised that he conducts all of his business from his home in Israel. Very proactive. Settled my case very fast. Faster than TSA. I would cons...

HUGE Help in moment of Forgetfulness
I hired Scott from a friend's recommendation that had used Scott, after I had forgotten to remove my firearm from my backpack from a recent out of town business trip where I drove and could take my firearm. I was flying to another location and forgot to remove it. The TSA "reminded me" that I had f...

Great commnication and results with TSA NOV
Working with Scott was a real pleasure. He took as much of the headache out of getting a TSA Notice of Violation as he possibly could, and he significantly reduced the civil penalty from the TSA offered. From our very first conversation, I trused that Scott had my best interests at heart and that h...
