TSA Does It Again

[Joe Jet Pilot]

DENVER -- An airport security screener is in trouble for fooling around on the job.

In this case the security worker at Denver International Airport sent himself through an X-ray machine.

Mike Fierberg, spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration, says they have no idea why the guy did it. Fierberg adds the stunt didn't jeopardize the safety of any passengers or planes. But he says X-raying yourself is clearly not acceptable.

The screener, whose name hasn't been released, has been disciplined. Officials say the X-ray incident happened about three months ago.

No, but his balls have probably shriveled up.

The TSA guys in Denver are supposedly the worst of the TSA.... Wouldn't suprise me. About half of them got fired before they got through training when they started it up.

Must be nice to have a gov't union job. Can't be fired for anything short of comitting a crime.

The other day when I went through security in EWR the TSA guy standing at the metal detector was on his cell phone. He was just chatting away and all I seemed to be was an inconvenience for him and his conversation. What a joke!
