TSA screener at JFK 'hurled hot coffee at American Airlines pilot who told her to stop swearing'

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.

The TSA gal may not be one of them, BUT, “El” and “Bey” are commonly associated with adopted last names with those who show allegiance to the Moorish Science Temple, a known prison gang.

Food for thought on what constitutes screening for TSA employees...

...according to the New York Post.

Did anybody read this in the NY Post or was it spiked by the PC Gestapo? I'm thinking I need a subscription to the UK Daily Mail just to get all the news that doesn't fit the lamestream media.

Lateisha El

Lateisha . . . hmmmmm . . . lemmeee guess . . . she’s probably of a protected class and descendant of former slaves.

They sure have been getting feisty lately since the Kenyan-born occupant of our White House and his racist hack in the AG office have considered “non-African Americans” scum.

My guess is that she has anger management issues.

How many days... hours... minutes? will pass before Jesse & Al's Roving, Rancorous, Race-Baiting Road Show announce their ‘boycott’ of of the 'racist' American Airlines until they agree to fire the pilot and hire twelve unqualified 'people of color' too replace him?

With DHS approval, TSA likely will give the perp a bonus and a promotion. How dare Whitey interrupt a conversation among Holder's people?

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

Feisty isn’t the half of it. This is getting scary. I have a feeling this story will turn out to have the usual victim and the usual suspect:

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

All I had to do was read the headline.

Nuff said!
