A former TSA screener at Denver International Airport says colleagues who conspired to grope male passengers viewed what they were doing as “just a game.”

He opted to speak after a CBS4 Investigation earlier this week revealed two TSA screeners were fired for participating in a conspiracy to allow a male TSA agent to grope the genitals of male passengers.

“There was more people that knew it was going on,” the former worker told CBS4.

He asked he not be identified as TSA forbids current and former employees from discussing security procedures.

So I get it, when a male gropes another male it's just a game. When a male gropes a female it's sexual assault.

Your hate for anything Christian comes thru loud and clear. Preaching tolerence by being intolerant. Gotta love the hypocrisy!

Here is what I don't understand Dell, you accuse Danzig of hating "anything Christian" because she points out specific facts about so-called "Christian" ideology that quite frankly deviates from mainstream Christianity...radical viewpoints that dwell on a narrow interpretation of a specific passage (interestingly usually from the Old Testament) while ignoring the teachings of Christ (you know, stuff like love, forgiveness, equality, tolerance of others etc). Often times I get confused by the religious right's focus on the Old Testament (understandable for Jewish folks but Christians??). We are very critical of Islamic fundamentalists but radical "Christians" are admired for their steadfast belief that words in a 2000 year old book written by men is somehow the indisputable truth word for word...stone any adulterers lately?

Radicalized Christianity is just as twisted as radicalized Islam. I was raised a Catholic as a kid and this form of Christianity in no way whatsoever resembles the tolerance that I was taught.

You're right. Putting Moses in a text book or denying a gay wedding pizza and cake is the same thing as beheading someone or flying planes into buildings.

Hate is hate but go right ahead and compare something minor vs something catastrophic in a lame ****ing attempt to support your argument cause we are all dumb asses and can't see that bullshit tactic.

Thanks somer.

I have no issue with christianity. I do have issues with those who are trying to tear down the separation of church and state, and those who twist jesus' teachings of love to justify hatred and discrimination. And I certainly do not support inequality, like that woman is espousing. She has a right to her opinion, I have the right to disagree.

Imagine a world where radicalized Islamism imitated radicalized Christianity in that instead of killing gays they refused them cake and pizza at their weddings. And instead of beating/killing/castrating their daughters for dating/driving and just being women, they protested them having abortions!

What a wonderful world it could be!

Oh, oh look a squirrel.

Radicalized Christians blow up buildings and kill people just like radicalized Islamics do..the key word is "radicalized"....Extremes exist in all of society..But you have to draw the line at guilt by association..unless you're a Christian

I fail to understand how 'we arent as bad as the other guy' is a valid excuse for people to use to explain that their hate is legit. It is amazing that some think being the lesser evil is ok...its still evil. There are some in this country who want a theocracy...who want to keep those deemed less equal in an inferior position, who actually think the falsehood of this country being founded for christians only is a truth. They believe some are more equal than others, that those discriminated against need to put it in perspective as tom cotton said, as tho the constitution is only here to protect the majority. In fact, it is to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority.
and i know some are rather limited in the amount of topics they can ponder...doesnt mean everyone is so limited.

I find it amazing and a bit asinine that some people can't understand that some people don't want to participate in gay weddings because of religious convictions not because of hate or being evil, and some others are against abortion for the same reason, not because they hate women.

Protesters standing outside an abortion clinic with signs aren't even in the same hemisphere as those who bomb the clinics or attempt harm to its workers just as bakers and pizza makers who refuse servicing a gay wedding aren't in the same ballpark as those who go out gay bashing.

Shoplifting and murder are not the same even though they are both crimes.

I've always found it disingenuous that some are able to stick their collective heads in the sand ignoring and thus allowing truly evil acts preferring to focus on incidentals.

If I was to get married and wanted pulled pork sandwiches I would expect a Muslim caterer to deny me service not because of hate in his heart but rather the religious doctrine he has in his heart.

Now if he beheads me because of it, it's out of hate.

You mean like bombing abortion clinics or shooting doctors? Looks like radicalized Islam is not so different than radicalized Christianity. Pretty sure the term radical is a dead give away.

I agree with you.

That said, as I pointed out Christians protesting abortion clinics using signs or their votes aren't radical. Just as the Muslim baker who refuses to cook pork isn't radical.

However the ten events pointed out by Salon of radical Christianity and White Supremacy over a period of 28 YEARS pale in comparison to events I could site of radical Islamism occurring over the past 28 MONTHS.

BTW are Muslims/Christians who castrate their women, or kill their women to save honor, or beat their women for driving, or throw gays off roofs, or stone gays in a public square or call for the annihilation of Israel, radical or is it just cultural?
