TSA Punishes 'Get Your Freak On' Screener
Well, the TSA has found and punished the guy (it's got to be a guy, right?) who left that hilariously inappropriate note in a blogger's luggage. The TSA always gets its man!
Feministe blogger Jill Filipovic found the note in her luggage the other day, a reference, she said, to a "um, personal item."
According to the official TSA blog, the note-leaver has met his doom:
TSA quickly launched an investigation and identified the employee responsible. That individual was immediately removed from screening operations and appropriate disciplinary action has been initiated.
The handwritten note was highly inappropriate and unprofessional, and TSA has zero tolerance for this type of behavior.
Agency officials have also reached out to the passenger to personally apologize for this unfortunate incident.
I bet that was the fastest TSA investigation ever. There are only a few people who would leave a note like this in a stranger's luggage, and they don't tend to exactly fly under the radar. When the news broke, probably everyone in TSA looked at each other and said "Robert!" at the same time. (Or whatever the guy's name was.)
So, now, Robert's been disciplined for writing a note, which must be pretty disorienting for a guy used to squeezing people's balls all day.
