CBS4 Investigation: TSA Screeners At DIA Manipulated System To Grope Men

FTA:
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. 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.”
Although the TSA learned of the accusation on Nov. 18, 2014 via an anonymous tip from one of the agency’s own employees, reports show that it would be nearly three months before anything was done.


They let this go on for three months after they had been told about it. Appalling. As if going through security isn't annoying enough.

Are you living in the real world? TSA needed solid proof before accusing a gay employee of misconduct. Nobody wants a lawsuit filed against them for "discrimination". Expect more of this. What we've been seeing is only the iceberg's tip.

If you, as a customer, feels something isn't right, complain to management and hope to God the gay employee you're complaining about doesn't sue you for everything you own. Employers have the same fear. They can't act on "he said, she said". They need evidence that can't be cracked by a smart attorney.

As for the pervert who violates public and employer trust and privacy. He belongs in jail. My guess is he'll never be sent there.

So odds are I've been fondled by a TSA worker...
Meh... There are worst things in life.
Last time I entered the courthouse to pay a traffic ticket, I was fondled by the sheriff at the metal detector station. Maybe he was gay and enjoyed patting me down. Oh well. I'd rather not find out and just go on about my day.

And yes, he belongs in jail (although that likely won't happen.)

Meh? Ok , go through life with that attitude if you want, but if it was if someone's son was being groped by those creeps I'd hope most people would have bit less nonchalant attitude than that.
So long as it doesn't bother you, oh well whatever......

Got ya, allowing sexual assault to continue is more important than risking a lawsuit. That's Americans today for you. It's all about the lawsuits.

LOL, not saying this is okay. TSA agents already do fondle you. It's annoying and uncomfortable already. If this creep's intentions hadn't come to light, we'd all be going through TSA without second thought.
It bothers me, yes. Like I said, this idiot belongs in jail. My point was, we have no way of knowing whether the other agents, sheriffs, etc., are doing the same thing.

The "Meh, ok" is why all this continues.

I'm guessing this happens wayyyyy more often than we know of for man/man, man/woman, woman/man, woman/woman.

There is no need to go to the courthouse to pay a traffic ticket, that is what the clerk of the court offices are for. People are not usually fondled by a sheriff at the metal detector. On the few occasions I have been to the courthouse I have never been touched once.

Well, he got in trouble for it. Not much else can be done to prevent this from happening.
