Philly TSA Screener Arrested
By Wyatt Earp | April 25, 2011
Meet Thomas Gordon, Jr.
Thomas has been a very bad boy. Unlike some other law enforcement officials who get arrested for DUI, bribery, or corruption, Gordon went above and beyond his pay grade. You see, Tommy Boy was arrested for possessing and distributing child pornography.
So you know, Gordon was responsible for physically screening passengers here in Philly. Let that sink in. Yeah, if you weren’t already fed up with the TSA, this might put you over the edge.
A passenger screener at Philadelphia International Airport is facing charges that he distributed more than 100 images of child pornography via Facebook, records show. Federal agents also allege that Transportation Safety Administration Officer Thomas Gordon Jr. of Philadelphia, who routinely searched airline passengers, uploaded explicit pictures of young girls to an Internet site on which he also posted a photograph of himself in his TSA uniform.
Authorities also seized from Gordon an HP laptop and a four-gigabyte flash drive that they say contained more than 600 images or movies containing child pornography, according to court filings.
Caught through Facebook. Good job there, slapnuts!

If this guy doesn’t look like a pervert, I’ll eat my hat.
When are we going to dump TSA?

The thought of that short-eyes physically screening people is enough to make a person’s skin crawl. I imagine his stay at the Grayrock Hotel will be an unpleasant one.

Thanks to the TSA the popular children’s holiday rhyme has had to be rewritten. It now reads: Over my breasts and through my panties, to grandmother’s house we go!

But we’ve been told it’s all very normal! And it’s the government that’s saying that so it has to be!
I don’t have kids, but I think I’d rather put ‘em on Amtrak or Greyhound.
Oh yeah – here’s your shirt:

L Frame – He looks like Corky from Life Goes On.
BobG – Yeah, they don’t dig child pr0n guys.
Dustyvet – And you don’t want to know where grandmother lives!
Parrothead – If one of them groped my kids, I would film it, post it everywhere, and rip the TSA a-hole a new one.

Just another good reason to avoid the Philadelphia Airport – worst airport in the USA and perhaps the world – like the plague

You owe me a new laptop. My brain just exploded and splattered across the screen and keyboard.
I’m almost afraid to ask how many children he “screened.”

Mouth breather!

As already said, yep – he looks like a child molester…
Also, I have a minor issue with referring to him as “law enforcement”. I know it falls under DHS and all, but they really are just glorified mall security for airports.
The name itself doesn’t help that perception… Transportation “Safety” Administration… all they’re missing here is the Segway scooter…

He looks like he combs his hair with toast.

Look at the size of the guys head. I swear its got its own weather system!

He kind of looks like a Down’s Syndrome Bill Maher to me.
Possessing and Distributing Child Pornography should be punishable by death.

He looks like somebody re-inflated Mickey Rourke’s face.
The TSA hires people stupid enough to trade kiddie porn
through Facebook! and he puts up a pic of himself in uniform. Why didn’t he twitter about it too?

You know, Wyatt, I saw this story the other day, and thought about sending it to you, but I wasn’t sure how to say it without noting that there sure seem to be a lot of perverts in Philly lately!

Enjoy the whacks while you can still dish’em out. In a few years pedophiles will be the next “special interest group” to gain “diversity” status in this morally bankrupt country.

Orchid – I have been to a few, and Philly International is a true pit. I worked there one summer when my mom worked for Pan Am. The underbelly is worse than what you see.
Kim – Probably more than a few.
Randal – Window licker, too.
Smite – Yeah, they’re more of the rent-a-cop variety.
Mrs. Crankipants – Thread winner!
Jon – Other people orbit around it.
Ferrell – To start . . .
Fozzy – The TSA’s screening is just as good as the PPD’s.
Proof – Hey! I’m right here!!
Mike47 – Because, you know, they’ve been oppressed.

Creeps like that guy are sub-human. It should be open season on ‘em year ’round with no limit.

Rob – I’m thinking a baseball bat is appropriate in this case.

Baseball bat, Remington 870, ice pick, board-with-a-nail-in-it, pack of rabid squirrels with herpes.. whatever works. At the punishers discretion I say.
