Well, that's a start, assuming the salesman was telling the truth. HOWEVER, the TSA & FAA are only concerned with minum legal requirements...they are the government and to them the lack of the conviction means legally it never happened. An airline may have a different point of view, especially with multiple events. Just my opinion.
