TSA officer airport death: Police confirm suicide of the federal employee
The death of a Transportation Security Administration officer inside Orlando International Airport was confirmed by police on Monday to be a suicide.
Orlando police investigators identified the TSA officer as 36-year-old Robert Henry.
Police and passengers said that Henry jumped from a Hyatt Regency balcony overlooking the fountain and interior space of the airport’s signature atrium, where the entrance to a large TSA checkpoint funnels beneath the hotel en route to Southwest and other airlines.
The ensuing panic among passengers triggered a shutdown of security screening, which was followed by massive lines once the checkpoint reopened.
Henry had worked for TSA since September 2006 and most recently was assigned to screening checked bags at Orlando International Airport, said TSA spokeswoman Sari Koshetz.
Koshetz added that within hours of Henry’s death, TSA leadership in Orlando provided grief counselors from the Federal Air Marshal Service for its security officers.

I mean their open balcony design, also they have the glass elevators "with a view." It's sort of their trademark.
