While the article doesn't mention the alleged victim considering a civil suit after being told criminal charges were not a viable option, it seems unlikely that course of action wasn't discussed and also rejected which is why she ended up only writing about her grievances.

When the alleged victim writes "This woman, and all of those who support this system deserve no less than this sort of unpleasant experience, and from all of us." [bold mine], she damages her own credibility by inferring the end justifies the means of her retaliation against a system she opposes. That makes the veracity of her every claim suspect.

I don't think the judicial system here will allow anyone to subvert TSA security procedures through extortion via threat of defamation. If she could get away with that, so could enemies such as terrorists. Her position is weak.
