Two Transportation Security Administration employees have been fired and two others reassigned after they allegedly set up a system to allow a male screener to pat down attractive men going through security at Denver International Airport, authorities said.The employees were not identified, and there will be no criminal charges because no victims have come forward, according to a police report.
Denver Police got involved in March, after a tipster brought it to the attention of the TSA in November, which conducted an investigation and contacted police.
The male screener would give a signal to a female employee when a male passenger arrived that he thought was attractive …

[FONT=proxima_nova_rgregular]A TSA investigator observed the scheme in action at 9:25 a.m. on Feb. 9, when he saw a screener give a signal to another and then pat down the passenger's groin and buttocks using the palms of his hands, which is forbidden by TSA rules, according to the police report.[/FONT]
[FONT=proxima_nova_rgregular]"These alleged acts are egregious and intolerable," the TSA said in a statement. "TSA has removed two officers from the agency."[/FONT]
[FONT=proxima_nova_rgregular]The Denver District Attorney's Office said that because the passenger who was patted down, who the TSA believes was flying with Southwest Airlines, hasn't come forward it could not file charges in the "unlawful sexual contact" case. The case is still being reviewed for other possible charges, a spokeswoman for the DA's office said Tuesday.

Two TSA Officers Fired for Scheme to Grope Attractive Men at Denver Airport - NBC News

So, here we are again...What a waste of money this system is...What are your thoughts on the story?
 
Sounds like it is past time to remove the TSA, yet again.

Never going to happen since they unionized....And as long as we continue to lose this war Islam has brought to us, then some type of security is needed...But, for Christ sake, don't they check out these morons they hire?
 
The story about TSA agents getting off on body scans is still worse, but in both cases it is to be expected. You can't allow people to touch other people for no reason or see everyone naked and not attract perverts and just all around creeps. Really, the only people that are going to want the job are going to be creeps and perverts.

Minimum wage earners in a position of authority.

Hmm, what could possibly go wrong?

Groping 'attractive men', well at least they have taste. I worry about children though
 
Simple solution: gay men should only be allowed to pat down women.

:lol: They don't earn minimum wage. Has anyone told you you're ****ing awful with numbers?

Lol !

I can hear them now...

" I have to touch her ?? " Eeeeww yucky "
 
I hear the outrage from that policy already. :lol:

Actually IF it's a rule that only women can pat down women, and I can't honestly remember if it is a rule, then I would support the concept that homosexuals should not pat down their own gender, but then they'd not be able to do pat downs at all... hmmm, I guess first thing is to find out if currently only women can pat down women and men pat down men.

I'm sorry but Islam didn't bring us to war, we brought war to them. Its stupid that we allowed the government to put this upon us for no reason than for spending more of our money. As if the unfounded wars were not enough.

Bull,

How did we bring war to Islam ?

Oh my, we are indeed in a catch22...

Pat-Downs | Transportation Security Administration

If a patdown is required in order to complete screening:

The patdown should be conducted by an officer of the same gender. Sometimes, passengers must wait for an officer of the same gender to become available.
The passenger can request a private screening at any time and a private screening should be offered when the officer must patdown sensitive areas. During a private screening, another officer will also be present and the passenger may be accompanied by a companion of his or her choosing.
A passenger may ask for a chair if he or she needs to sit down.
A passenger should inform an officer before the patdown begins of any difficulty raising his or her arms, remaining in the position required for a pat-down, or any areas of the body that are painful when touched.
A passenger should not be asked to remove or lift any article of clothing to reveal a sensitive body area.

If the purpose of same gender pat downs is to avoid groping, then indeed homosexuals should not be patting down their own gender. But that then means homosexuals would not be able to do their full job. I think the only solution is to not require gender specific pat downs and simply go after anyone caught groping on either gender.

Airport Security was fine before the government took it over decades ago.
 
She's probably under the impression that " Bush lied and people died ".

Yeah, real "Independent" there...Just like Cindy Sheehan, or Rosanne Barr is an "Independent".... :roll:
 
A more simple solution: Fire the TSA agents who exploit and abuse their authority. :roll:

The part that doesn't make sense to me, . . . no one complained. So it does seem as though he didn't abuse his authority to the point of groping anyone, just inconvenienced pretty men by making them have a pat-down.
 
Bull,

How did we bring war to Islam ?

Really? Please do tell...How so?

I'll go ahead and answer both of you at the same time.

We brought the war there when after WWII we allowed our allies to set up the people in power. In addition we continued to meddle with foreign governments without having a reason to, see Iran vs Iraq(80s), Mohammad Reza Pahlavi(Iran) (assassinated) Afghanistan (70s&80s), a faked Cold War and a Missile Crisis that never existed. There are tons of examples from the past that show how we brought the war to the middle east ourselves and while we sure don't deserve any attacks, to say our hands are clean is less than dishonest.

If you did that then the women would be complaining like they were before the policy was put in place. The fact is there isn't a policy that can be put in place that can make all the parties happy.
 
Airport Security was fine before the government took it over decades ago.

Airport/airline security was not fine. When four or five morons, armed with box cutters, are allowed to drive aircraft into buildings that was a sure indication that a airport/airline security problem existed. The addition of TSA nannies may be sufficient to provide adequate airport/airline security but I have my doubts. What TSA did was to shift that security responsibility to the government likely saving the airline industry lots of money.

Nope, how about file charges against them for sexual assault ?

The **** would stop in a instant
