Public Advocate Warned You:TSA Agent Charged with Child
Pornography Routinely Searched Passengers
Public Advocate warned that TSA agents need to be
screened for the wrong people.
A TSA agent has been charged with Child
Pornography but TSA tried to conceal it.
Philly.com is reporting "A passenger screener at
Philadelphia International Airport is facing charges that he
distributed more than 100 images of child pornography via Facebook,
records show.
Federal agents also allege that Transportation Safety
Administration Officer Thomas Gordon Jr. of Philadelphia, who
routinely searched airline passengers, uploaded explicit pictures
of young girls to an Internet site on which he also posted a
photograph of himself in his TSA uniform.
Homeland Security agents arrested the TSA officer March 24,
and he is being held without bail."
Although the case was unsealed Thursday, neither the
indictment nor the news release mentioned Gordon's job searching
airline passengers for TSA.
