Jeno Mouton, of Houston, allegedly told a TSA supervisor that “he would rather vent than to come back and shoot up the place,” according to an arrest affidavit.  

Investigators said Mouton, who is a long-time employee, allegedly made the comment while he was on-duty and working in the capacity of a TSA officer.

His supervisor told police she spoke with Mouton several minutes after he made the initial statement and said Mouton refused to recant it, then went on to repeat it several more times during their conversation.

The supervisor reported Mouton to the human resources office manager and he was immediately warned to not to return to Bush Intercontinental Airport, or any other TSA offices or facilities, according to the affidavit.   

Then on Jan. 29, a TSA worker reported that she saw Mouton on the secure side of the Bush Airport terminal in plain clothes.

What a demonstration of the mental stability of TSA agents, now we no longer have to worry about, just the terrorists.

The insane are running the institutions.

The last time I flew, I was stopped by tsa before I made it to the security line. Must have been reading my posts here.

The USPS used to have a serious problem with such types, hence the term 'going postal'. Maybe those prone to such behavior have found a new home in the TSA.

I used to work with a guy at the TSA like that. He liked to run his mouth and his specilialty was making inappropriate comments to female passengers regarding their cleavage. It was usually phrased as a double-entandre but sometimes more direct. He had numerous complaints from passengers and was verbally warned numerous times as well written up but never suspended or fired.

He just wouldn't listen and was a general PITA. In his own words “He be a playaah and you to uptight old man”

One day he crossed the wrong person. A female manager came through the line not wearing any ID and he went into his act. She told him to shut up and do his job. He basically told her to F*** O**. While the manager was talking to his supervisor he wanted to know “Whoo dat white beotch be? and “I tell her wat she be missin”. From time of incident till confiscation of ID and firing 5-10 minutes.

He was never seen again thank god.

So...he says he would rather do something not involving shooting up the place, and they fire him? And then they arrest him because he was in the secure area of the airport in civvy clothes (no word about whether he had a boarding pass) and had a TX CCW permit but no mention of carrying a concealed weapon?

That hardly seems like grounds for job termination or arrest.

The female manager had a problem and had him terminated in record time because SHE was on the receiving end of the abuse. Yet this punk was allowed to perpetuate this disgusting abuse of power without fear of repercussion as long as he limited it to the traveling public. Is it no wonder the tsa goons are held in seething contempt akin to that reserved to child molesters?
