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.

*** TOTALLY IMPRESSED ***
TOTALLY IMPRESSED When you find yourself on the "wrong side of the law" with a stupid mistake, it's common to try to figure out how to lessen the blow of a sledge-hammer fine. That's exactly what Scott Klippel was able to do for me. In less than 6 hours after I contacted Scott (I may be the ex...

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...

Amazing to Work With!
I hired Mr. Klippel in February 2019 and my case was closed in February 2021. He emailed me every month with updates for the entirety of the two years and always kept me in the loop. He is very knowledgeable and made sure I understood the process from start to finish. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Kl...
Thank you so much. Everyone reading this should know that this client hired me right after the incident at the airport took place. It took TSA over 2 years to file the Notice of Violation. Every month I checked with TSA to see if they had filed the NOV. When they hadn't, I emailed my client stating that the NOV hadn't been filed and I'd check again next month. Finally, when it was filed, I was able to settle the case immediately, even before my client got the NOV in the mail.
