"In this case, as with the other cases, Eon-Net offered to settle using a license fee schedule based on the defendant's annual sales: $25,000 for sales less than $3,000,000; $50,000 for sales between $3,000,000 and $20,000,000; and $75,000 for sales between $20,000,000 and $100,000,000."
By their wording, couldn't a company be exempt from the license fee schedule if they could somehow show that they made a) exactly $3,000,000; b) exactly $20,000,000; or c) >$100,000,000?
OT: It's good to see more courts recognizing the 'legal extortion' racket for what it really is.
That was the sound of the point going over your head.
The point is that it is all NOTHING BUT THEATER if they aren't even using the equipment all the time. The TSA (and ICE, DOJ, the government in general) KNOWS the equipment is useless as far as stopping terrorism goes.

When the majority of the public ignores (disobeys) a law, that law should never have been passed.
