TSA Agent Charged With Sexual Assault - In Uniform
Via Lisa Simeone, a TSA agent, in uniform, and flashing his badge (according to the victim) was charged with sexual assault. Thousands of TSA agents sexually assault innocent Americans every week, of course; the difference is, this guy didn't do it at a checkpoint in an airport.
The story from NBCWashington:
The victim said she and a friend were on the block when they were approached by an unknown man, who forced sexual contact on her. After interviewing the victim, police canvassed the immediate area in search of the perpetrator.Authorities said a short distance away, they found 52-year-old Harold Glenn Rodman, who fit the victim's description. Rodman, an employee with the TSA, was exiting his house while police were canvassing, and he was taken into custody.
Rodman has been charged with aggravated sexual battery, object sexual penetration, forcible sodomy and abduction with intent to defile.
Police said Rodman was wearing his TSA uniform during the assault.
For a moment there I thought "So that's where Dennis Rodman ended up."
Disgusting, and hopefully our budget troubles will doom this misguided agency.

The only difference between him and any other TSA agent is that he's honest about it.

but this can't happen, he's a sworn officer of the law... oh wait.

Got his freak on, did he?

This demonstrates the working of habituation and desensitization in behavior.
I guess that the TSA agent habituated to sexually assaulting people in airport security lines, and inferred that his uniform gave him the authority.
Really, what difference is there between assaulting people in line or on the street? He probably saw that as a distinction without a difference.

Andrew, there is also the - well, fact - that the type of people who already want to commit sexual assault (and/or feel up children) will be disproportionately attracted to a job that allows them to commit sexual assault (or feel up children) "legally" every day.
