It wasn't the TSA that was responsible for the discharging of the weapon. TSA found the firearm during screening, and an Atlanta PD officer that trying to clear it caused the discharge.
Thank you! My brain was about to explode.

Ouch! That'll cost him $1,500!
This policy directive provides sanction guidance for imposing civil penalties of up to $25,000 per violation for aircraft operators and up to $10,000 per violation for all other persons, including individuals, when a determination is made that civil penalty enforcement action should be taken.
Uh, it can be substantially more than that...
I know this as I was threatened by a TSA agent with this penalty for having a dinner knife in a carry-on. I had been to a potluck dinner a few days before at work. I went through this bag twice before I left for the airport and the knife was in a crevice of the backpack. If I had an x-ray machine at home I would have found it. I didn't leave it to the TSA to decide, I wrote my Congresswoman and it was taken care of.
Yeah, I don't know how the idiot cop shot himself in the face while clearing the gun either. I've seen people open the cylinder and then hold the gun upside down by the trigger guard to have gravity help the bullets fall out. Maybe that is what he was doing but forgot the part about opening the cylinder first???
On another note, why would someone CC with rat shot? That's not going to stop a determined attacker, penetration is downright terrible.
Thirdly, a guy the size of the man in the picture would be the absolute last guy I'd attempt to mug and a guy that size could easily conceal much more than a .22 MAG.
There are so many facets of this story that make no sense to me.
