                  Civil Penalty.- A person that, knowing the\
information to be false, gives, or causes to\
be given, under circumstances in which the\
information reasonably may be believed, false\
information about an alleged attempt being\
made or to be made to do an act that would\
violate sections 46502(a), 46504, 46505, or\
46506 of this title, is liable to the United\
States Government for a civil penalty of not\
more than $10,000 for each violation.\

var WPFootnote3 = 'Specifically, the TSA indicated that “If [it] received a\
request to release the warning notice under [FOIA] or otherwise,\
the agency would excise all of Mr. Barker’s identifying information\
on privacy grounds, so that document would not be attributable to\
him.”\
'

var WPFootnote4 = 'After oral argument in this case, the TSA revised its\
regulations. See 74 Fed. Reg. 36,030 (July 21, 2009). The\
regulations now provide that the TSA may issue a warning notice for\
“a violation or an alleged violation” of any “TSA requirement.” \
See 49 C.F.R. § 1503.301(a). Although we decide this case on the\
basis of standing, we note that this change in the TSA’s\
regulations would render moot Barker’s request to enjoin the TSA\
from issuing such warning notices in the future.\
