It's the fear of many air travelers: Step into full-body scanning machines and Transportation Security Administration officers might get an eyeful of their private parts.

That is apparently what has been happening on a regular basis — at least during TSA training sessions — and earlier this week it led one Miami International Airport transportation security officer to allegedly attack a co-worker with a baton.

The co-worker had been making fun of the size of the officer's genitals, according to Miami-Dade police.

Baton, rough.

The TSA should raise its hiring standards to require at least a GED.

“The co-worker had been making fun of the size of the officer’s genitals, according to Miami-Dade police.”

What are these guys, 12 year olds?

How big was his baton?

“Negrin was arrested on Wednesday at an airport security checkpoint and charged with aggravated battery. The TSA has suspended him and said it is conducting its own internal inquiry.”

The TSA found him “inadequate”.

Fire the teeny weenie guy for assult, fire the rest of ‘em for sexual harassment. Simple.

I would suggest that men view porno prior to walking into one of these scanners.

Government is a circus with many clowns. TSA are just among the most visible. All they need to complete their outfits are red noses and Scott Hartnell’s hair.

Government workers - no one is getting fired. Reassigned maybe, fired no.

“Hey is that a 3-oz container in your pocket or are you happy to see me...”

It won’t stand up in court.

And...while these idiots were joking around.....a terrorist walked by and got on the plane.

At least Anderson Cooper will be able to get work when CNN goes off the air.

[a fool in paradise]

It’s against their culture to show their wangs in public.

[ZULU]

LOL!!

I’m so glad that TSA is a government agency. Where else would they get that professionalism?
