Denver Police Department Is Failing to Apprehend TSA Sex Offenders

Techdirt is running an article about how the TSA delayed reporting sexual assaults being committed by TSA agents at Denver International Airport and how the TSA failed to identify the sexual assault victims to the police. Even worse, a TSA supervisor personally witnessed a sexual assault being committed by a TSA agent, did nothing to stop it, and did not inform the victim he had been assaulted.

Every TSA employee involved in this cover-up needs to be thrown in prison for committing of being an accessory to sexual assault. If the Denver Police Department does not investigate these sex crimes further and bring the violators to justice, they have failed to protect the people they are supposed to serve.

It is simple: interrogate the violators, look at the security footage, identify the victims using the mountains of surveillance data being retained on travelers, arrest the perpetrators, and prosecute for sexual assault.

TSA Screeners Manipulated System to Fondle Genitals of Attractive Passengers

CBS4 is reporting two Transportation Security Administration screeners at the Denver International Airport were manipulating the passenger screening system so a gay TSA worker could fondle the genitals of male passengers he found attractive.

The alleged groper's female accomplice assisted him by using the scanning system's computers to indicate male passengers were female, causing the system to detect anomalies in the genital area. Presumably, if the scanners detect male genitals or other material in the crotch area of a supposed female, the system will flag the area for hand inspection. This feature should be especially troubling to transvestites and effeminate males who are probably be unfairly abused by this procedure.

When attractive males were unfairly flagged, the TSA agent would allegedly take the opportunity to grope the genitals and buttocks of the passengers. Make no mistake about it, this is sexual assault, and this is no different than a man abusing his authority to grab a woman's genitals for his own pleasure or a woman abusing her authority to grab a man's genitals for her own pleasure.

The initial problem was first brought to the TSA's attention on November 18, 2014, but they took almost three months to take action. At this point, it is unknown how many men were sexually violated by the screener during the months the TSA failed to take action.

This is what happens when we allow the government access to our genitals. Once we allow the government into our pants, some government employee somewhere will find a way to abuse the system and use the opportunity to sexually violate people who are guilty of nothing but being attractive and trying to get on an airplane. The next time a TSA agent is fondling your genitals, ask yourself a question: "Is this TSA agent getting pleasure out of this?"
