Every traveler has worried at some point that they would be inappropriately touched while getting frisked at airport security. The truth is that it has happened to most of us. You always wonder whether the agents are being thorough or a little bit pervy.
Now the Denver CBS station has posted footage of two TSA agents, Ty Spicha and Yasmin Shafi, plotting to manipulate the checkpoint in order to fondle certain male passengers.
According to The Week, “Shafi would tell the body scanner the passenger being screened was female so it detected an irregularity in the genital region. This allowed Spicha to conduct an unjustified pat-down of that area.”
Another TSA agent allegedly reported the inappropriate behavior and the agents were fired.
“I think what it suggests is that occasionally you have some bad apples,” TSA Administrator Peter Neffenger told CBS.
“What we do in the long run is train across the organization. Our core values to treat the public, the traveling public, with the dignity and the respect that you would want to be treated with yourself.”
