Two TSA agents from Denver International Airport have been fired after admitting to intentionally tampering with airport screening procedures to divert attractive male travelers for inappropriate pat-down screenings, according to a CBS Denver report.
A female agent confessed after a senior employee witnessed the woman deliberately misidentify the gender of a passenger.
Once the passenger stepped into the scanner, the computer set off a gender anomaly alert which then redirected the passenger to receive additional screening.
A male agent then conducted a full frontal and rear pat-down of the traveler which is strictly against TSA protocol, the CBS investigation revealed.
The supervisor who witnessed the scheme questioned the female employee who confessed she'd participated in the scheme at least a dozen times.
Although the TSA learned of the accusations last November via an anonymous tip from an employee, CBS Denver found it took an additional three months for the TSA to take any action.
