Thomas Gordon, Jr., a TSA screener at Philadelphia International Airport, was arrested on March 24, 2011 on charges of distributing child pornography. Gordon got caught uploading sexually explicit images of minors to Photobucket. He also had the bright idea to upload a photo of himself in his TSA uniform. When Gordon was arrested, a search of his computer equipment turned up more than six hundred pieces of child pornography.

This is one of the many reasons adults should not be allowed to touch children in intimate areas unless there is a specific medical need to do so. In Philadelphia, we had this pervert groping all sorts of people under the guise of security.

Who knows how many children were groped by Gordon? Clearly, Gordon finds children sexually attractive. Are we to believe his TSA-sanctioned pat-downs of children were professional and completely within acceptable limits? Does anyone believe that this pervert did not at least occasionally take advantage of his job to indulge his sexual interest in children? If a pervert already has his hands all over a small child, how difficult would it be for him to sneak in a little extra groping for his own pleasure?

Well, here it is, parents. The TSA screeners are feeling up your kids. Sometimes these screeners are unsavory people. Sometimes these screeners may be rubbing their hands all over your kids and experiencing a great amount of pleasure doing do.

Think about it this way. Men, if you were required to rub your hands all over Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Heidi Klum, and Megan Fox, do you think you might find that experience at least somewhat exciting? Ladies, if you were required to rub your hands all over Tom Cruise, Ryan Reynolds, Jon Hamm, and Brad Pitt, do you think you might get a little aroused?

The sexual excitement you feel when you touch an attractive adult are the same feelings a child molester gets when touching a child. Keep this in mind the next time you go to the airport. If the TSA screener who is performing a pat-down on your child happens to be sexually attracted to children, that screener may be enjoying that encounter quite a bit and may take the opportunity to do something incredibly inappropriate with your child.
