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.

TSA Employee Plants Fake Drugs on Passenger as a Joke

University of Michigan student, Rebecca Solomon, had a joke played on her as she was boarding a flight at the Philadelphia International Airport. As she was going through security, one of the Transportation Security Administration screeners, presented a small plastic bag of white powder and questioned her about it. When Solomon appeared to be sufficiently terrified, the unnamed TSA screener let her off the hook and let her in on the joke. Needless to say, Rebecca Solomon was quite shaken by the incident. The TSA joker is no longer working for the TSA.

Okay, so this was just a joke, but this shows what sort of people are working at the TSA. These jokers have tremendous authority and the power to destroy people's lives, and they are not necessarily responsible, rational people. What if the plastic bag had contained explosive material or drugs? What if this warped TSA screener just wanted to see someone go to jail for his own amusement? If he was sadistic enough to play a joke like this, maybe he could be sadistic enough to go further. Who knows how warped this TSA guy may be?

Well, maybe this explains how all of the terrorists are getting through security with explosives and weapons. We, the law-abiding citizens, are standing in long lines, holding our shoes, being treated like criminals, and getting felt up by frisky security guards while these TSA losers are goofing around, and letting the terrorists sneak onto the plane with exploding underwear.

So, we have all of this great security. It does not seem to be making us much safer. The only thing it seems to be accomplishing is making life more difficult for normal, non-violent citizens. The TSA should be ashamed of the people they employ, the way they abuse their power to violate the privacy of innocent people, and the terrible job they are doing protecting this country.
