It's actually $11k apparently and I hope someone with the money, time and energy does get brought into one of these suits. I hope it happens soon so it can gain the media attention that this whole thing is getting right now.

But considering this man was escorted out of the airport and told he is free to go, I can't see how they could possibly get away with it in this case.

I actually joined the ACLU recently precisely because they're the kind of organization with the deep pockets and infrastructure for running suits like this.
