“…two Transportation Security Administration screeners at Denver International Airport have been fired after they were discovered manipulating passenger screening systems to allow a male TSA employee to fondle the genital areas of attractive male passengers. It happened roughly a dozen times… According to law enforcement reports … , a male TSA screener told a female colleague in 2014 that he ‘gropes’ male passengers who come through the screening area at DIA. ‘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.’”

So? Sexual assault is what the TSA does. I’m puzzled that anyone found this newsworthy. Even more baffling is that this time, three months (and how many victims?) after the TSA learned of this gate-rape, it fired the rapist and his accomplice instead of defending their criminality as “standard procedure.”

You’d think that instead of discharging these deviants, the TSA would have baked them a cake. No need to secrete a file in it, either, since “a prosecutor from the Denver District Attorney’s Office was asked to review the case but … declined to press charges…” Honor among thieves–or Leviathan’s minions, as the case may be. (Thanks to Travis Holte, who, like Denver’s CBS4, found this story noteworthy for reasons I can’t fathom.)
