TSA Agent Leaves Lewd Message In Flier’s Luggage After Finding Sex Toy

UPDATE: Filipovic has since told ABC News that she found the note “offensive” and has decided to file a complaint with the TSA.

“I hope they do see the complaint, they’ll look into it and remind their staff that going through people’s personal belongings is a responsibility that should be treated with some modicum of professionalism,” Filipovic said.

Not satisfied with fumbling through Americans’ private possessions, one TSA screener saw fit to make a humiliating joke about the contents, writing a personal message on a TSA inspection note after finding a sex toy in writer Jill Filipovic’s luggage.



After arriving at her hotel, Filipovic was unpacking when she discovered her bag had been individually searched by a TSA screener who, having seen the “personal item,” saw fit to comment, writing “GET YOUR FREAK ON GIRL” on the reverse side of an inspection notice.

“Total violation of privacy, wildly inappropriate and clearly not ok, but I also just died laughing in my hotel room,” wrote Filipovic.

While proving themselves adept at identifying women’s vibrators, TSA screeners are notoriously less skilled at actually doing what they’re paid to do – find dangerous items.

TSA screeners missed a loaded gun inside a checked bag at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday.

“The .38-caliber handgun fell out of a duffel bag as a luggage ramp crew was loading it onto an Alaska Airlines flight to Portland, Ore,” reports USA Today.

Perhaps Filipovic should be relieved that the TSA goon didn’t just steal the item, but they only tend to do that when it’s something really valuable like a laptop, jewelry, precious metals, or cash.

67,000 passenger loss claims have been filed against the TSA since 2003, a figure the federal agency finds completely acceptable.

Update: TSA Says it Will Fire Agent Who Left Sex Toy Note in Woman’s Luggage

*** Update 10/27/11: After working with our Office of Chief Counsel and Privacy Office, we have been cleared to say the following: TSA has completed its investigation of this matter, and has initiated action to remove the individual from federal service. Like all federal employees, this Transportation Security Officer is entitled to due process and the protections embodied in the Privacy Act. Pending the completion of the removal action, the employee will not perform any screening duties. ***

“TSA views the handwritten note to be highly inappropriate and unprofessional and apologizes for this unfortunate incident,” spokesman Kawika Riley told the Associated Press in an emailed statement Friday, confirming the TSA intends to fire worker once the individual has had the chance to appeal.

The agency has not identified the Newark Liberty International Airport employee, citing privacy laws.

Filipovic has not publicly commented about the incident beyond a blog post Wednesday after the first report that the agent had been suspended.

However, in a message on Twitter, she wrote:”Lesson learned: Don‘t tweet anything you don’t want to appear on The View. #FML” — referencing just one of the places her story was discussed.
