He should not have been treated differently (which he was presumably because he has a media profile).

It wasted the valuable time of many TSA and other law enforcement personnel who should have been screening for actual threats.
He (and possibly the producers if he was working at the time) should be charged at least for the wasting of police time.

If you do a robbery with a fake weapon it is still armed-robbery.
Considering the very well known history of terrible incidents on aircraft in the US, this sort of nonchalant time wasting for fun (of the people trying to keep all of safe on aircraft) should not be tolerated. Especially by someone in the media, it's a poor example of behavior by Knoxville and by the law (by letting him play them).

Throw the book at him, hard (very hard he's a JackAss boy he'd expect it to hurt real good).
