A Miami Transportation Security Administration screener was arrested this week after allegedly using an expandable police baton to beat up a co-worker in an airport parking lot.
The reason for the assault: police said the victim and other TSA employees had been making fun of the size of the screener's genitals.
The disagreement started several months ago when screener Rolando Negrin, 44, and his co-workers were trained on the TSA's controversial full body image scanners. The body scanners allow TSA staff in a separate room view images of the of airline passengers' full bodies, private parts and all, with the passenger's face blurred.
According to the police report, during the training exercise the machines revealed that Negrin "had a small penis and [his] co-workers made fun of him on a daily basis." After months of ridicule, Negrin told the police that "he could not take the jokes anymore and lost his mind." So on Tuesday night, when fellow screen Hugo Osorno, 34, arrived at his car at the end of a shift, Negrin was allegedly waiting for him. Negrin wanted Osorno to let him inside the car to "resolve a problem and finally respect him," according to the police report. When Osorno refused to open the passenger door, Negrin allegedly came around the vehicle and took out his police baton. He then allegedly said in Spanish: "Get on your knees or I will kill you and you better apologize," two other TSA agents told police. "I'm going to blow your head off," one of the officers also allegedly heard Negrin say.

Wannabe cops...from both aspects. A fired TSA guy’s best chances? With the Piggly Wiggly security team. I don’t see how any major police force in the US would be tempted to hire a guy whose last five years have been TSA.
People should not be ashamed of having “minor characteristics”.
What are these names??? Are they even citizens?
It ain’t whatcha got, it’s how you use that puppy
To quote a great old song, ‘It ain’t the meat, its the motion’-!
Our physical security is in their hands. Scary.
A “short” story!
Hostile working environment...if the dummy had just gone to HR and had the taunting continued, he’d be in for a fine settlement at taxpayer’s expense. Now he’s going to spend a bunch of time in the Greybar hotel at taxpayer’s expense. Sheesh, this guy’s small schwanz is costing a lot of other people’s money.
The police are provig sexual harrasment and hostile work environment for the fired guy. He wont need to work for a while.
Maybe he will get enough in his countersuit to move someplace where everyone doesn’t know he’s hung like a mouse.
Yeah, I want these bozos manning the porn scanners...
Maybe TSA should just hire guys with small attributes, they are probably less likely to make fun of passengers bodies.
Poor guy. Now he’s nationally known for his smallhood
“”What are these names??? Are they even citizens?””
My best guess would be Nigerian - perhaps Somali.
This is the real story, IMO.
“Those two idiots should be ashamed of stealing tax revenue from Americans. They are supposed to be fighting terrorism, not each other.”
Actually, I think it’s pretty funny. If the guy’s got that small a member, he should have seriously considered interior design - that’s probably what the others were getting at.
Does this mean that we’re not all created equal.
