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.

Former TSA Agent Exposes Common Groping and Failures at TSA
Time is running an article by, former TSA agent, Jason Edward Harrington about the TSA's groping problem and other failures. Most importantly, Harrington makes the important distinction that what some TSA agents are doing to passengers amounts to 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?"

TSA Officer Charged with Child Pornography
 |
| Michael Scott Wilson Image: Baltimore County Police Department |
The Transportation Security Administration has done it again. This time, 41-year-old TSA officer, Michael Scott Wilson of Redwing Drive in Perry Hall, Maryland was arrested on September 27, 2011 with possession and distribution of child pornography.
Just remember, the next time the TSA agent has his hands all over your child, he may be having the time of his life. If a guy likes looking at child porn, he probably gets a real charge out of feeling up an actual child while his parents stand by and watch helplessly. These child molesters are sick, and they love, power, submission, and access.
Michael Wilson may not be a representation of all TSA agents, but there certainly must be more like him in the TSA who have not yet been caught. This is exactly why people normally do not let strangers come up and paw their children. Some strangers are good, and some strangers terrible. Since parents cannot always tell who is good and bad, parents usually just do not let any strangers touch their children. Oddly, one of the very few places were strangers get to grope children with impunity is the TSA.

TSA Agent, Thedala Magee Threatens to Sue Passenger over Rape Accusation
Airline passenger, Amy Alkon is accusing, Transportation Security Administration Agent, Thedala Magee of what amounts to sexual assault. On March 31, 2011, Amy Alkon was passing through security at LAX in Los Angeles and wound up getting the dreaded pat-down. During the pat-down, Amy Alkon claims Thedala Magee pressed the side of her hand into Alkon's vagina, between her labia, four times. During and after the pat-down, Amy Alkon made quite a scene by crying and then accusing the TSA agent of rape.
Now, rape is a very serious word, but pressing ones hand into a vagina, even through clothing, is a very serious act. The act of pressing a hand between labia through clothing may not exactly qualify as rape under many legal definitions, but it certainly is a hostile violation of one's personal space and would absolutely be considered a crime in just about any situation. For some reason, TSA workers are allowed to commit these sexual offenses on innocent people without probable cause. They get to do it, and they do it with impunity.
Of course, people are now attacking Amy Alkon and questioning her truthfulness, but is that really fair? If Alkon's story is true, this poor woman was sexually assaulted by a government worker. It does not really matter if the sexual assault is legally sanctioned by the federal government or not. If unwanted sexual contact takes place, it is sexual assault. How can we, in good conscience, doubt Amy Alkon's story? When a person claims to have been sexually assaulted, do we not owe it to the victim to offer the benefit of the doubt?
Sure, Alkon could be exaggerating a story for publicity. It is a sensational story. Her story, however, has a lot of credibility. TSA workers are constantly jamming their hands into people's crotches and poking around in there. Is it really crazy to think Alkon's vagina may have been violated in some way during this interaction? Thedala Magee certainly had access to Alkon's vagina and had the opportunity to push her hand between Alkon's labia if she wanted to do so. Should we not assume Alkon to be the ultimate authority on whether or not her vagina was compromised?
Well, Amy Alkon decided to fight back against the TSA agent using her right to free of speech. She recounted her alleged assault on the Internet in a post titled "Don't Give the TSA an Easy Time of Violating Your Rights." She even identified the accused by name: Thedala Magee.
Thedala Magee did not like her name being published on the Internet by the alleged victim. Magee has hired attorney, Vicki Roberts, and she is now threatening to sue Alkon for defamation. She has even offered to settle out-of-court for $500,000. Is that not just adorable? A woman claims sexual assault, and even though there is likely to be a full-color video of the accused with her hand in the victim's crotch, the accused has the nerve to threaten a lawsuit and offer to make it go away for some quick cash.
Thedala Magee was probably informed by the TSA she has every right to sexually violate people, and Magee probably thought she would never have to answer for her actions. These TSA buffoons, put on their uniforms, and they feel they can go to work and do whatever they wish to people because they are acting under the authority of the government. Some people just believe that, if the government does it, it cannot be wrong. Even worse, some people think, "I was just following orders," is a completely adequate excuse for all sorts of terrible behavior.
Well, fortunately, we have the Internet for things like this. Thedala Magee may be able to force Amy Alkon to remove her accusations from the her Web site. Magee may even be able to squeeze some money out of Alkon, but one thing Thedala Magee will never be able to do is escape the shame that is going to be associated with her name all over the Internet from now on. And, you know what? Magee deserves to be shamed.
These TSA workers may just be going around following orders, but they volunteered for the job, and they are getting paid to routinely terrorize innocent people who simply want to get on a plane and go somewhere. Yes, the federal government is instructing them to violate people, but these TSA workers do not have to take these jobs. If they choose to be willing participants in an ongoing assault on the civil liberties of innocent people, then these TSA workers deserve whatever shame comes their way, even if that means they get publicly exposed by name as the sex offenders they are.
If there were more gutsy people like Amy Alkon who would have the courage to stand up to these sanctioned sexual assaults, fewer people would want to become TSA agents and those who continue to do the job might be more likely to be a little more respectful of people's privacy, rights, and human dignity. We should sympathize with Amy Alkon in her pain and applaud her for her bravery.

TSA Makes Life Harder for Handicapped
 |
| TSA Handicapped Groping Zone Sign |
On July 6, 2011, Jason Steitler and, his wife, Jennifer were going through TSA screening at the Greater Rochester International Airport in New York. Both Jason and Jennifer Steitler are in wheelchairs. The sharks at the TSA must have sensed weakness, so they pounced on the Steitlers and subjected them to a humiliating and intrusive search.
In what Jennifer Steitler calls "search rape," the TSA had their hands all over the handicapped couple's bodies and even managed to get their hands uncomfortably close to Jennifer Steitler's crotch. They had Jason Steitler push against his wheelchair's arm rests with his arms, so they could get up under his backside. The couple felt embarrassed and violated. Oh, and by the way, neither Jason Steitler nor Jennifer Steitler turned out to be terrorists planning to blow up or forcibly take over a commercial jetliner.

TSA Harasses Wounded Veterans over Embedded Shrapnel
Prison Planet is running a story about how some wounded veterans whose imbedded shrapnel set off metal detectors and led to harsh TSA bullying and crotch grabbing.
Read the story here.
"TSA Thug Grabs Crotch of Wounded Vet"
How can we possibly ask these troops to put their lives and health on the line to defend our freedom and then treat them like common terrorists in their own country? We should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing our wounded veterans to be mistreated, especially when they have so much metal left in their bodies that they set off metal detectors. This is simply disgraceful.

Okay, Go Ahead and Mess with Texas
Apparently, the Texas Senate has an abundance of cowards. Already passed by the Texas House of Representatives, HB 1937 was going to make it a crime for a government worker to inappropriately touch a person without probable cause. HB 1937 would essentially bring an end to the most invasive aspects of TSA pat-downs.
In a clear demonstration that the Transportation Security Administration's power has reached much too far, John Murphy, the U.S. District Attorney for Western Texas, essentially warned the Texas Senate that Texas' ban on TSA groping could lead to a ban on flights in the state. Of course, this spooked the wimps in the Texas Senate, and HB 1937 has been effectively blocked.
What's wrong with these sissy Texas Senators? Texas had a real opportunity to exert its state's rights here. The TSA probably could have grounded all flights out of Texas. If they had done that, it would have created a spectacular setting for Texas to stand for her freedom. This could have been a watershed moment for American freedom. Instead, it is just another example of how governments disregard the people for the sake of ease.
Two parties need to be ashamed in this confrontation. The United States federal government should be ashamed for bullying a state. The Senators in Texas should be ashamed for allowing themselves to be bullied so easily. When Texans start backing down from a fight, times have truly gotten bad.

TSA Validates Intrusive Pat-Down of Drexel Girl in New Orleans
If you thought the TSA's disgusting groping of the six-year-old Drexel girl in New Orleans was just an isolated incident, mistake, or deviation from standard operating procedure, think again. The TSA has come out and addressed this specific incident on their blog.
The TSA is confirming that it is their policy to pat-down small children in this manner. A procedure that is tantamount to child molestation is actually among the standard operating procedures of the TSA. The TSA is unapologetic about this incident and has officially confirmed they will continue to grope small children in this manner.
Wow, Michael Jackson would have loved to have worked for the TSA. They should put sequins on those rubber gloves to give the children the full Neverland Ranch experience.

TSA Employee Kidnaps Woman from Airport and Rapes Her
Transportation Security Administration employee, Randall Scott King, has been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping a woman from a MARTA parking lot at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and raping her. The TSA, the same agency that wants to capture images of you virtually naked, grope your genitals, and rub their hands all over your children's bodies, hires mentally unstable and violent sex criminals. The guy who is looking at naked scans of you tomorrow morning could be kidnapping and raping you tomorrow night. How can we possibly trust the TSA?
