So, here we are again...What a waste of money this system is...What are your thoughts on the story?
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.

Sounds like it is past time to remove the TSA, yet again.

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

I hear the outrage from that policy already. :lol:
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.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?

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.

She's probably under the impression that " Bush lied and people died ".
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.A more simple solution: Fire the TSA agents who exploit and abuse their authority. :roll:
Bull,
How did we bring war to Islam ?
Really? Please do tell...How so?
Oh my, we are indeed in a catch22...
Pat-Downs | Transportation Security Administration
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.
