TSA screener at JFK 'hurled hot coffee at American Airlines pilot who told her to stop swearing'
dailymail.co.uk ^ | 4-4-12 | Suzannah Hills

An airport security worker was arrested after throwing a cup of hot coffee over a pilot who told her to stop swearing.

Transportation Security Administrator (TSA) Lateisha El, 30, was in the middle of a conversation with work colleagues at a JFK Airport terminal when she was interrupted by the American Airlines pilot.

Off-duty airman Steven Trivett, 54, was exiting terminal 8 when he overheard El swearing and asked her to tone down the profanity.

Trivett, of Butler, Tennessey, told them they should 'conduct themselves more professionally in uniform and not use profanity or the n-word,' according to the New York Post.

One TSA screener told Trivett to 'mind his own business' and swore at him.

Trivett then identified himself as a 'TSA officer' - an armed pilot - before trying to grab the ID tags of screener El to get her name.

But Port Authority police sources told the newspaper that El responded by hurling a 'full cup' cup of hot coffee over the pilot.

El, of Brooklyn’s East New York, was charged with harassment and misdemeanor-assault for the incident at 5am on March 28.

I think Susan Collins also used that remark, in a supportive way of federalizing, I mean.

Butler, Tennessey, is in Johnson County, Tennessey, in the extreme NE corner of the state—so as close to New York as you can get in Tennessey. But not close enough, evidently.

"Clearly the pilot's fault. It can't be a TSA agent's fault... "

Well I can see where El's Lawyer will take this one. The story sez the Pilot tried to Grab El's badge, THEN she(?) threw the coffee. So El's lawyer will claim self defense because the Pilot assaulted El.

You just know that is how it will go down... Which is why I say we need a culling of the lawyer heard held annually. We setup bait at a McDonalds: a large pot of Hot Coffee and we spill it on a disabled minority woman who is in the USA illegally. When the lawyers start circling the joint we trap 'em and ship 'em off to testing labs so they can be used in place of more likeable vermin like Rats and Cockroaches.

I like the thought and have said much the same thing but it’s 8:1. Still more than enough and I just bought two AR-15s and have a metric buttload of ammo coming in the mail so I will better be able to do my part.

War On Words: NYC Dept. Of Education Wants 50 ‘Forbidden’ Words Banned From Standardized Tests
‘Dinosaur,’ ‘Birthday,’ ‘Halloween,’ ‘Poverty,’ ‘Divorce’

Among Those Suggested
March 26, 2012 7:04 PM

The New York City Department of Education is waging a war on words of sorts, and is seeking to have words they deem upsetting removed from standardized tests.

Words that suggest wealth are excluded because they could make kids jealous. “Poverty” is also on the forbidden list. That’s something Sy Fliegal with the Center for Educational Innovation calls ridiculous

I can forgive the UK Dailymail their geography transgressions as long as they continue to shine a light on Obama's TSA Gestapo.

Currently, only the NY Post and UK Daily Mail cover this story, but when I was doing a news search for "Lateisha", I found this gem from last week as well: Ex-ICE employee latest to plead guilty in fraud scheme. Seems she, her supervisor James M. Woosley, and Wooseley's son (who he had on the payroll as a contractor) defrauded the agency out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Woosley was acting intelligence chief for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Gives you a nice fuzzy feeling, doesn't it?

What it doesn’t say is whether Lateisha was fired after the incident. She was probably given a raise by the TSA.

CNN said it's under investigation for the next 72 weeks, or until all you tax paying peons forget about this incident. What ever comes first.

It's where bloated foul mouthed pigs stand around drinking hot coffee, while making an easy living at tax payers expense.

If ya don't pay up, you'll get a tax increase and hot coffee thrown in your face, while being cursed at.

If Obama had a daughter, she’d be just like Lateisha El.
