Child rape charge rocks TSA

A Transportation Security Agency worker who pats down members of the flying public was charged with multiple child sex crimes targeting an underage girl yesterday.

The bust outraged privacy and passenger advocates who say it justifies their fears about Logan International Airport’s full-body scanner.

“It’s a huge, huge issue,” said Kate Hinni of FlyersrRights.org. “The TSA needs a complete overhaul . . . If you have a pedophile looking at those naked pictures, they’ve got all your information, it’s a gross violation of their authority. . . . They should make sure none of them is corrupted in any deviant sexual manner.”

Sean Shanahan, 44, of Winthrop was held on $50,000 bail after he was charged with two counts of statutory rape, two counts of enticing a minor and one count of indecent assault and battery. He was arrested yesterday at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he had checked himself in after a suicide threat, prosecutors said.

TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis said Shanahan had passed two background checks, neither of which picked up any record that would prevent him from getting a job.

That is the script they will use the next time a muzzie brings down an airliner.

The victim in the story told the daughter to back off when criticized, standing up for this ugly perv.

He must have done some kind of brainwashing number on her.

“..At least you have less of a chance of getting an unprofessional pervert frisking your underage daughter.”

Reason #78423874238047238907320 that airport security should be handled by the military passengers. Just like it was before 1968.

There. Fixed it for you.

There are plenty of unprofessional perverts in the military. I was in a unit that cashiered an E-5 for molesting his daughter.

How sick and evil he is to as you point out brain wash another 14 yo girl.
I am glad he got caught and I feel sick for both the victim and the daughter

With body scanners, there should be two separate ones - one for men and the other for women. Those looking at the screen from the scanners should be in a separate room and not be allowed to see the actual people, therefore protect their anonymity. A man would look at a screen where men pass through and a woman look at a screen where women pass through.

Why is El Al able to fly safely without the use of the scanners?
