9/3/11, "Feds: Former TSA worker had kiddie porn stash," Boston Herald, by John Zaremba

"Prosecutors say a former TSA security screener had a trove of 2,000 kiddie porn photos and videos on his home computer and an external hard drive and now faces federal charges.

Andrew W. Cheever, 33, of Beverly, who screened passengers at Logan International Airport, was arrested at his Beverly home yesterday and brought into federal court in Boston, where Chief Magistrate Judge Judith Gail Dein ordered him held pending a hearing Thursday."...

""And "when he stopped working for the agency was not immediately clear yesterday", I believe that we can deduce that he worked until "yesterday". Question is, how many flash drives of people (kids) does he have and is that the "porn" that will not show up in court due to the fact it will further question if this TSA administration is just a loophole for sexual assault disguised as "public safety". I wonder how many other TSA staff are perverts at large. Ask your self this question, would you take a job that requires you to "touch" a member of the same sex and kids as young as 6 years old (show me a picture of a person that would say "yes" to the job requirements and I'll show you the pervert in the same picture)?"

"This is the second TSA screener arrested for child sex crimes in less than a week. Last Saturday, the Elko Daily News reported that a TSA agent in Nevada was arrested on six counts of child molestation."...

("Anderson, who is a TSA employee according to Elko County Jail records, is being held on $250,000 bail." This is the LAST sentence in the article. ed.)

(continuing), BH comment: "\"The Elko County Sheriff’s Office was notified in July of possible sexual contact between David Ralph Anderson, 61, and a girl younger than 14. Anderson allegedly taught the victim about various sexual acts and had sexual contact in the form of touching each other’s genitals. Anderson, who is a TSA employee according to Elko County Jail records, is being held on $250,000 bail.\"

Since December forty-five screeners have been arrested or convicted of crimes including rape, child pornography, theft and drug trafficking. There have been eight TSA screeners arrested since December of 2010 for sex crimes, five involving children. This is what you get when the

• Government sanctions child molestation, sexual assault and strip searches in the guise of airport security.

This now makes 45 screeners arrested for serious crimes in the past nine months. No other organization, public or private, has a comparable level of criminal conduct by employees. Pistole has been a complete failure at managing this agency and cannot keep his own organization from becoming infested with criminals and sex offenders. Why would anyone trust this organization to keep terrorists out of airports?
