First there is the issue of violating an FAR, then there may be TSA involvement. On top of all that, the pilot could be charged with "impeding air commerce" (a criminal act).
HA HA, the first "violation" occured on the first day the bulletin came out! MD-11 captain CS bumped all P-3s on his flight from PHL-CGN. He was NOT removed from operating the flight even though there was an MD-11 qualified manager on duty at PHL that morning.
