Two part time TSA officers from Palm Beach International Airport allegedly trashed a Miami hotel room and shot a gun out of the window. Jeffrey Piccolella and Nicholas Anthony Puccio were arrested and charged with criminal mischief and use of a firearm while drunk. According to reports, the two tossed furniture and other objects out of the second story window at the Hotel Shelley and then took turns firing a .380-caliber pistol. Piccolelle has been fired but no word on the other miscreant's fate.
A TSA agent, in uniform, was arrested for selling heroin around the corner from an elementary school in Newark, NJ. People were understandably concerned how this could be. Her mug shot was taken in her blue uniform. Funny.
A TSA supervisor, Bryant Jermaine Livingston, was charged with running a prostitution ring. Not to sound racist but even before I saw the picture I knew he'd be black from the name alone. Bryant used cash to rent rooms at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Silver Springs, Maryland. A hotel manager noticed large groups of males and females frequently entering said room, suspected what was going on, and called police.
When the police arrived, Bryant denied the allegation and let them into the room. Responding officers say they saw, "11 people inside the room [including] three naked females and four males attempting to get dressed. Multiple people were laying on the two beds and other people were sitting in chairs and standing in the room." Bryant then told the police officers he "runs the airport security at Dulles," A spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration confirmed that Livingston had worked for the agency since Oct. 29, 2002, but he had been fired as a result of the charges. However, this is not the first time Bryant has been accused of such an offense. A TSA investigator told police that, "in 2009, a very similar complaint concerning Livingston was on record. The complaint alleged that Livingston was operating a prostitution ring and charging individuals $25 for sexual acts." The TSA spokesman had no immediate explanation as to what, if anything, the agency did about the earlier complaint although nothing seems to be the most accurate statement.
But wait, there's more. Right here in my neck of the woods, comes word that Andrew Cheever, a now former TSA agent, was sentenced to three and half years for possession of child pornography. He was found to be sharing his sick garbage on peer to peer Internet sites. Cheever pleaded guilty last December and was fired shortly before that.
That's got to be it right? Nope. Still more. The TSA released this ad on Craigslist for a job opening at the Ann Arbor Airport. Here it is unchanged with the offending word highlighted.

Does anyone know what imperious means? Here's the definition: domineering in a haughty manner; dictatorial; overbearing, assuming authority without justification. Synonyms: tyrannical, despotic, arrogant. Nazi would also be a good word. And this is in the freakin' ad! Does describe the TSA to a T doesn't it? The ad was removed but not before some of us saw it.
Here's some blasts from the past of TSA abuses. Last November, 52 year old TSA worker Harold Glen Rodman allegedly stalked a woman, flashed his badge and then proceeded to rape and sodomize her. Last July, A TSA agent in CT was charged with harassment after flashing his badge in an unwise attempt to get her to drive faster. In January 2010, a TSA agent at LAX went crazy and started screaming, " I am God. I am in charge."
These rent a cops are starting to act just like the thugs they are. And as background checks don't seem to be working or not done at all by the TSA, we all have to suffer the fools to get anywhere. So where is Congress with all of this. Well, as usual, they have their heads up their ass.
Last Monday, a hearing was held by Darrell Issa(R-Calif.) asking about the invasive and unusual complaints they have been receiving such as the one from a marine flying in uniform who was forced to remove his pants in full view of other passengers, and woman with an artificial leg who repeatedly had her breasts fondled by agents. In a shocking bit of ineptitude, Democrats were more sympathetic to the TSA than Republicans. WTF?
"In the realm of aviation security, the TSA must achieve a delicate balance" Rep Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland) "I welcome the TSA to develop a more intelligent risk based approached to transportation security and Congress should strike the appropriate balance between moving too quickly to deploy untested or unreliable technologies or techniques and moving too slowly to address new threats." What a load of crap.
Maybe he hasn't noticed that the harassment of the TSA, Customs and Border Patrol has caused a loss of $600 billion dollars in revenue last year and making places like China and Brazil better vacation destinations for the world. I would like to point out that a communist country has less stringent security than the US. Still think you live in a free country?
The TSA attitude to the whole debacle was this: screw Congress, we'll do what we like. If the GOP wants to win in the fall, these are the kind of issues they should be using instead of sure fire losers like gay bashing and anti women measures that are going to cost them the election if the numbers don't change. Women are fleeing the Republican party with Santorum only getting 13% of the female vote at this point and Romney barely getting 37%. Obama crushes them with a higher percentile than both combined. Yet here is a measure that people HATE and they fall once again to Teatard and American Taliban demands.
I won't fly and neither should anyone else until this reign of terror ends. We are becoming more and more fascist each day, as my previous article stated. How long will we continue to take it is the next big question?
