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.

TSA NOV SETTLED AS PROMISED
Law abiding citizen here and gun owner that made a mistake. I have no record. I am the sole provider for a family of 5. And when I got an NOV from the TSA 34 months after my incident, I was flabbergasted, stressed, anxious, scared, you name it. Then I had to decide what to do. They give you 5 op...

Scott is legit!
In September of 2021, I mistakenly brought a firearm in my carry on luggage to Fort Lauderdale airport. Apparently I joined an elite club of people that are not paying attention. Having my CCL was the only thing that kept me from going to jail. Immediately during the incident, the TSA supervisor at ...

TSA Wonder-worker
Reporting to the airport at 4:30 in the morning, I totally forgot to take my gun out of my purse. The resulting TSA fine was high, even if I paid early. After researching on the internet, we found Mr. Klippel and he handled my case quickly, efficiently, and professionally. We ended only having to ...

Hire Scott!
I received my Notice of Violation 2 years after bringing my firearm through security. Of course it came at the worst time financially for me but I was so relieved that the notice was offering a $2000 pay off instead of the $4000 fee. Plus I thought to myself “hey, you brought the gun and this is your...
