As a woman, this story is pervy on so many levels…but I can’t say this wasn’t a genius idea. Where in the world is there a place where you can grope people without getting kicked to the curb by some bouncer? Only in the airport, that’s where! And while I’m sure at least some people have realized the pervy potential of pretending to be a TSA agent, this guy actually had the balls to go through with it.
“The man, who was wearing khaki pants and a blue polo, may have swiped plastic blue gloves to look the part.”
Dress for success, that’s what I always say.
“According to authorities, the man returned to the passenger screening area and convinced a passenger who was already screened to go to a private booth. What happened inside isn’t exactly clear, because she disappeared to catch her flight.
Real TSA agents became suspicious of the man when he was seen ushering another woman into the private screening area, because men are only allowed to screen women in the booths if a female agent is present.”
So in some bizarre display of irony the only reason he got busted was because there weren’t enough women with him. Police don’t know yet whether or not the two women he “TSA’d” have realized that he wasn’t actually a TSA agent, but if investigators can find them he’ll most likely be facing more charges than just public dunkenness.
