Suspicious Package: TSA Worker Jailed After Junk Joke
Source: NBC Miami

Perhaps the new airport body scanners are a bit too revealing.

A TSA worker in Miami was arrested for aggravated battery after police say he attacked a colleague who'd made fun of his small genitalia after he walked through one of the new high-tech security scanners during a recent training session.

Rolando Negrin, 44, was busted for assault after things got ugly at Miami International Airport between Negrin and some of his fellow Transportation Security Administration workers on Tuesday.

Sources say Negrin stepped into the machine during the training session and became embarrassed and angry when a supervisor started cracking jokes about his manhood, made visible by the new machine.

1. "Bad news for less-than-average men"
Are we all supposed to get erect to get our body scans now?

4. All anyone really knows is that the supervisor is a jerk and Negrin is a hothead.

5. Overreacting to sexual harassment.
While I don't condone that kind of violence, the shear frustration and humiliation must have been unbearable for him, especially coming from a supervisor in front of his peers.

Way to blame the victim.

6. Which victim?


------
According to the police report, Negron confronted one of his co-workers in an employee parking lot, where he hit him with a police baton on the arm and back.

" then told victim to kneel down and say 'your sorry,'" the report reads. "Victim stated he was in fear and complied with ."

10. i wasn't blaming the victim,
just noting the irony that because of his anger and embarrassment about his co-workers knowing, that many more people know now...

7. Just think, these are the kind of people who will be viewing US naked. And the worst of it is, the
scanners may reveal your dick to these cretins, but they won't reveal anything concealed in a body cavity.

What a racket.

9. Shrinkage. This is not good, will never be good, and will never thwart a terror attack.
They don't need to blow up planes. They can blow up vans, trucks, whatever.

Although not unexpected from the bags of shit employed in the bush terra industry,

Rick Mercer used to have a TV show called This Hour Has 22 Minutes on which The Daily Show is based.
