A TSA employee based at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson tried to kill himself after allegedly abducting a young woman from the airport's MARTA station, sexually assaulting her then giving her a suicide note to deliver...

not that it matters... just sayin’...

[bigheadfred]

Looks like “going postal” just bit the dust.

[primatreat]

“Janet Big Sister” is so jealous that she was not the victim !

Sounds like the screeners need some screening.

But then half of them would be dismissed... or maybe not.

Summmary: A woman kidnapped Wednesday night from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport MARTA transit station parking lot. TSA agent Randall Scott King took her to his house in Hogansville, allegedly assaulted her and then freed her with the note. Police found him with self-inflicted wounds.

>> The TSA workers just now complained about how unwashed so many of their targets are ~ not at all surprising.

heh heh... now that gets the ol’ mental wheels turning...

after clearing security I could always “clean up down there” in the airline club so as not to disgust my fellow travelers... heh heh...

Years ago postal workers were maligned as being unstable and prone to “going postal”. TSA workers are the new postal workers.

“Going TSA” has a nice ring, especially if there is some molestation or abduction involved.

Going TSA — going postal is so last millennium.

Nice of them to sit on the story for 6 days....

[GeronL]

That new strip search policy is pretty aggressive!

...good PR for the TSA.

What a concept! Maybe an oxymoron, even.

[treetopsandroofs]

Missed it by THAT much.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

What is MARTA?

A joke.

[treetopsandroofs]

I’m betting a name change is already in the works for TSA.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Well, did he off himself? Or are we stuck with this scum form the Transportation Scum Agency still walking among us?

Prediction 1: If he did not kill himself, he will claim his work environment was hostile and caused him to do this and he is entitled to Worker’s Compensation AND federal retirement for the rest of his natural life.

Prediction 2: If he does so, he will win.

You'd best lissen' up when someone tells you "Postal Worker ~ or Retiree - on Board" because we're all just as tough today as we were back then.

Oh yeah? Well, they haven't smelled nothing. I swear the next time I fly I'm eating Mexican for lunch. When they run their hand up my leg, I'm going to cut a BIG greasy one.

You all do know this happened BEFORE I computed the number of crazy people who would be wandering airport parking lots looking for TSA field agents.

Here we have a crazy TSA field agent wandering the airport parking lot looking for people!

Total Co-Inkydink Fur Shur.

"Insanity Wave" ping.

Low-volume (I hope) ping list scanning the increase of insane murder and suicide statements and events.

FReepmail me if you want on or off The Comedian's "Insanity Wave" ping list...

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

This is the result of having low end waged employees do what is essentially a .......job?

This must be stopped!! TSA agents are facing a very teachable moment.

Are they stooges for the government? Somebody needs to talk to them and get through to them they have been soldout by their union bosses!!!! They are being played as the “useful idiots.”
