TSA Screeners Fired for Groping Passengers
A couple of TSA screeners have been fired for having a little too much fun with one of their screening machines at the Denver airport. It seems these screening machines are smart enough to scan a passenger and determine if they're concealing something by scanning the person and spotting those telltale bulges (or the lack thereof) we're all aware of that exist between the sexes.
So, the TSA fellow in our story decided it would be hilarious that when he spotted a nice looking male passenger coming in through the gate, he'd motion over to his cohort, the female screener, to tell the machine the passenger was female and not male.
The machine would then scan the passenger thinking he (she) was female and register an anomaly when it spotted a suspicious bulge in the passenger's groin area.
The machine's alarm would then go off indicating that he (she) might be concealing something illegal, like a bomb or firearm, and the male passenger would be pulled out of line to be checked more closely.
The TSA fellow would then pat down the poor guy supposedly looking for the illegal something by touching the passenger's groin and buttocks areas, explaining that this was standard procedure. He was lying, of course, because doing this is actually a rather serious violation of TSA policy.
The TSA figured out what the screeners were doing after being told about it by someone anonymously back in February, and now both screeners have been fired. However, no charges are apparently going to be filed against them because none of the victims of the searches has come forth with a complaint, and the TSA has been unable to identify the passenger who was groped back in the February incident.
Ah, the hilarity in what these ingenious pranksters can think of! Now, I guess, the jokes on them!
