Sexual assault of a 14 year old. If only the Janet et al would own up to this.
everyone knows that the entire apparatus of the security line is a national homage to political correctness.
The ugly scoop on the gross out.
WINTHROP, Mass. — A Transportation Security Administration worker at Logan International Airport is accused of assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
Sean Shanahan, 45, of Winthrop is being held on $50,000 cash bail following his arraignment in East Boston District Court. He is charged with statutory rape, enticement of a child and indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older.
He has also been ordered not to contact the victim or any minors.
Winthrop Police said this all started when a father contacted them about sexually explicit text messages on his daughter’s cell phone.
Shanahan reportedly began contact with the girl in January.
“The defendant stated to us that it was in fact a ‘sexting’ relationship…they were sending inappropriate text messages to each other of an inappropriate nature,” said Lt. Brian Perrin of the Winthrop Police Department.
Police said the inappropriate contact escalated and Shanahan had physical sexual contact with the girl at his Winthrop home in February over school break.
“As a result of interviews with victims as well as witnesses it was revealed that there was in fact a rape of a child,” Perrin said.
The TSA said Shanahan is not presently working at the airport and released the following statement on Tuesday:
“TSA cannot comment on an ongoing police investigation, however, we can assure travelers every TSA employee is subject to a significant background check, including criminal history, before they are offered a job. Unfortunately, these checks do not predict future behavior. This individual is not working at the airport at the present time.”
Shanahan is reportedly due back in court on April 5.

Calling all sexual predators the TSA is hiring.

Sad, huh?

why am I not surprised….

The TSA has license to do what no one else can do, and they don’t have anyone watching them.

SOO not surprised. The parents must be going nuts.
How did this guy get the child’s cell number? Why does the child HAVE a cell phone? (oops how very very 20th century of me.)

PMM, I would be willing to say that these parents are probably Obots as well. The world is kumbaya and the kid is safe. Kind of like Janet’s world.

Think about all the divorce kids flying by themselves during the holidays. The TSA doesn’t have to ask for permission to strip them on a body scan or pat them down. What then when the kid is on a plane by themselves violated and inconsolable? Enough is enough.

one hopes they don’t hire this nut (who will shortly be looking for a job, one imagines) as a replacement, because he seems just the type tsa likes

I think I preferred it when they served all kinds of free booze and food on the plane rather than getting all sexed up. I dunno. It’s just something about getting on board a plane when everyone around you knows that ‘something’ went on in that room that you’re not telling…
And come to think of it, this new and improved manner of travel has me a bit conflicted. Maybe it’s just a reflection of the fact that tastes have changed; perhaps people just place more attention on sex than on drinking and eating. After all, if there was free liquor along with all kinds of non-halal goodies on the plane like lobster and ham, then wouldn’t that in itself eliminate about 99.9% of these crafty little suckers? Heck, I say let people bring their dogs on the plane, too. This ought to eliminate the other 0.1% of ‘em right there.
But of course, I’m sure the subject of this TSA thingamajig will eventually become muddled in a degraded, political salvo launched unsuspectingly, yet predictably by some egomaniacal aspirant, who will use it in the media as an example how how the nation’s declining morals are to blame for the reason why they think we must grope one another in the first place. And then of course, after we’ve all had it up to here of being sexed up at the airport, and long after we’ve discarded the whole shebang, it will be discovered that the very same people advocating for this behavior get caught in some deviant love triangle. Then they’ll wind up getting talk show…
God bless America…

But in the meantime? Let’s get as many scans and make $$ by selling them to porn sites, or pedophile sites. I see an abuse haven in the interim.

Yes, soon we’ll certainly see ads for personal TSA trainers on craigslist, who will come to your house and teach you how to undergo a TSA screening…

I see a Screening For Dummies Book coming.
