Two TSA Agents Fired After Conspiring to Grope Men’s Genitals

According to a new investigative report from CBS4, two TSA screeners have been fired from their jobs at Denver International Airport after one of them admitted to manipulating the system to allow one of them to grope the genitals of male passengers he found attractive. The alleged incidents occurred about a dozen times over the past year.

“He related that when a male he finds attractive comes to be screened by the scanning machine he will alert another TSA screener to indicate to the scanning computer that the party being screened is a female,” a law enforcement report reads. “When the screener does this, the scanning machine will indicate an anomaly in the genital area and this allows (the male TSA screener) to conduct a pat-down search of that area.”

The TSA first learned of the scheme last November, but did not take action until months later when a supervisor caught the employees in the act. When confronted, the female agent “admitted that she has done this for (the male TSA officer) at least 10 other times” and “knew that doing so would allow (the male TSA officer) to perform a pat down on a male passenger that (the male TSA screener) found attractive.”

“These alleged acts are egregious and intolerable,” a TSA spokesperson said in a 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.”

Notably, CBS requested surveillance video of the known groping incident for its report but was denied.

Just another reason I stopped flying.

Driving is usually cheaper, marginally slower (thanks to having to allow time for security, padded flight times, delays, baggage pickup, and rentals), and I don't have to check my civil rights at the door.

This is pretty bad as well:

"did not take action until months later when a supervisor caught the employees in the act"

So they intentionally let it go on for ten months!

I was told I needed a grope recently at LAX by TSA, I asked for the female TSA agent with a shaw, or whatever you call it, covering her head to do it. They said NO.

Thankfully I am neither buff nor attractive!

Lol. Just lol.
