An airport Transportation Security Administration guard at Denver International Airport rigged a computer system so one of her coworkers could fondle men whom he found attractive.
The female agent would set the scanner to a women’s setting so it would flag men’s crotches for pat downs. She reportedly confessed to her boss that it had happened at least ten times after she was confronted with a video of the encounter.The investigation started after the groping guard at Denver International Airport bragged to a colleague that he could feel up any guy he felt like thanks to another guard who would deliberately cue the scanning computer as though a woman were passing through the full-body screen.
The groper’s bragging led to a tip to TSA administrators – who finally got around in to checking into the allegations.
A TSA security supervisor observed the two TSA screeners manipulating the system in February. The male screener apparently conducted a pat down that was “contradictory to TSA searching policy.”
A TSA spokesman confirmed the TSA fired both agents after the investigation uncovered their scheme.
“These alleged acts are egregious and intolerable,” said TSA in an e-mailed statement. “TSA has removed the two officers from the agency. All allegations of misconduct are thoroughly investigated by the agency. And when substantiated, employees are held accountable.”Send this to a friend
