Rather Queer That No Charges Were Filed
Apr 15, 2015 Commentary
The people working for the TSA are government agents who have too much power and who abuse the traveling public. Like many government agents they are protected from prosecution, not because there is some law or immunity but because other government agents refuse to go after them for doing illegal things.
A pair of TSA agents were caught in a scheme that involved the groping of male travelers by a gay TSA agent. The agent would signal a female agent, his accomplice, who would manipulate the machine to cause it to give a reason for further screening. This would allow the gay agent to grope the male he found attractive. He used the palm of his hand to grope the genitals of these men.
The scheme was reported by a whistle blower and investigated. The acts were witnessed by several people involved in the investigation. The TSA agents were fired as a result of their deeds.
The kicker though is that the prosecutor (a government agent) refused to file charges stating there was not enough evidence to get a conviction. The things were witnessed by the people investigating and there was enough evidence to fire them but they can’t be convicted?
Sounds like hogwash. You can bet your six that if you had done something at the TSA checkpoint this prosecutor would file charges no matter what the odds of getting a conviction.
TSA is a worthless agency and the entire thing should be contracted out. Private contractors would do a much better job than protected government employees who will not be prosecuted for the crimes they commit.
I know that if this had been a straight man working it out so he could group attractive ladies the news would be all over the front page with stories about how men can’t be trusted. Better not judge all gays by the acts of this one pervert though, that would be wrong.
I am glad they were fired but they should be prosecuted as well.
Perhaps the next government employee they should fire is the prosecutor who refused to file charges…

TSA and Security
Nov 8, 2010 Political
So, have you seen all the recent reports about TSA abuses? I have noticed quite a few, from the airline pilot who refused scanning and groping to the various reports about the unchecked attitude of the TSA agents. What a horrible disaster.
Look, let’s be honest — Homeland Security and TSA are a joke. In my opinion, no one is even an ounce safer because of what they do. To me, it’s like the National Guardsmen that were posted immediately after 9/11 — with guns and no bullets. And I honestly believe that the entire department of Homeland Security could be abolished overnight and only good things would happen. After all, they appeared overnight, so why not stop spending all that money?
I am supposed to travel overseas next summer. I’m seriously considering not going simply because of the abuse I will have to suffer at the airport security check-in. I used to like traveling, but I avoid airports with a passion since 9/11 and all the crap I have to put up with since that time. I will admit, on occasion, I have met a TSA agent that has common sense — but they are very few and far between. However, the recent rules change that allows agents to visually strip search or manually grope people is stupid and useless. If I were a female, I would be quite inclined to slap anyone who groped me, no matter what badge they might have. And typically, people are more outraged when individuals simply take pictures of their children (committing a crime: see Gerritsen Beach), rather than when people with badges sexually fondle their 8-year old sons and daughters.
As it stands, if I should decide to travel next summer, I will be wearing an athletic supporter to keep the agents from grabbing me. I do wonder what will happen when it is discovered. Don’t worry, should I travel, after I’m released from jail, I’ll be sure to account how it went.
