A traveler detained for more than 20 hours after a search of energy bars and a sports watch in his carry-on bag at Philadelphia International Airport has sued the Transportation Security Administration.
Architect and runner Roger Vanderklok says he was arrested after asking to file a complaint against the TSA.
His lawsuit accuses a TSA supervisor of lying in court for saying he made a verbal threat during the 2013 security stop.
The supervisor said he was concerned about the running gear in the bag. He testified ``organic mass'' and electronics can be used to make bombs.
A judge dismissed threat charges against Vanderklok.
The lawsuit was filed last month and seeks at least $75,000 in damages. The Philadelphia Daily News first reported on it Wednesday.
The TSA says it doesn't comment on pending litigation.
