The former
TSA employee, who wished to remain unidentified, claims he was not the only
agent aware of the vile conspiracy. He told a local CBS affiliate, “There was
more people that knew it was going on. They made it seem like a game, they were
having fun with it…I had heard them saying it was just a game. It’s a really
sick game to play.”
He went on
to state that he tried to get more information on the scheme, but the clique
was much like a secret club, communicating through text messages and private
group chats.
“They kept
it quiet. I would ask questions, but it was almost like an exclusive group for
them. They had a group chat at work. I definitely know that because of the
group text and chat there was more people that knew it was going on. There
could be numerous people who knew it was going on.”
The former
agent alerted supervisors of the disgustingly clever game last November,
according to a Denver Police Investigation.
The
investigation of the two agents revealed a disturbing system in which an agent
would alert his female coworker of passengers he found to be attractive with a
secret signal. According to the police report, the female agent would falsely
categorize the passenger as female in the system, triggering a pat-down.
Officials
conducting the investigation observed the male agent fondling the targeted
passengers groins and buttocks with his bare hands, which, according to TSA
regulations, is strictly forbidden.
According
to one investigator, the female agent has confessed to her role in the
conspiracy, admitting to having targeted at least ten passengers for
molestation.
The TSA
released a statement, saying, “These alleged acts are egregious and
intolerable. TSA has removed the two officers from the agency.” The names of
both agents are being withheld.
Numerous
passengers have come forward, believing to be victims of the sick game.
Prosecutors are looking into their claims but have declined to file a charge of
unlawful sexual contact as none the victims have yet been identified. They are
considering filing a different charge, according to office spokesperson Lynn
Kimbrough.
This is yet
another example of how important it is to assert your right to privacy. It is
absolutely vital for all of us speak out any time our rights are being
violated, in order to prevent these horrific situations from happening in the
future.
