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.

Great Attorney
I had a NOV from TSA for $1500 if I paid within a few days ($3000 if I waited). This seemed higher than I would have imagined, so I started looking online for attorneys who specialize in this field online. I had some reservations about working with Scott as there are so many scams out there, but a...

Knowledgeable and Expediate
Mr. Klippel handled my situation with the upmost respect. He is knowledgeable and experienced about TSA's rules and procedures. I was very impressed with his experience. Most federal rules, statues, procedures aren't always user friendly. Mr. Klippel can help walk you right throughout he process...

BEST TSA NOV attorney!
I contacted Scott when the day I got into trouble at TSA, he advised me to contact him immediately upon receipt on my NOV, which I did and from that point on Scott handled it fast and saved me the max amount of $$$. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THANK YOU SCOTT!!!

Fast, Simple & Flawless
Attny Scott provided exceptional service to reduce the TSA civil penalty from $2000 to $1000. I was on the verge of paying the $2000 on 8/1/22 when I decided to make one last Google Search to determine if there was any fight to reduce the fine. My search brought me to TSA NOV Defense website. The web...
