TSA removes security screener for note telling passenger to ‘get your freak on’<\/h1>\n
By Keith Laing<\/div>\n

A Transportation Security Administration airport security worker has been removed from checking baggage because of a note with sexual implications he left for a passenger at Newark’s Liberty International Airport.<\/p>\n

Jill Filipovic, a New York blogger who is also a lawyer, tweeted Monday that a note was left in her bag \u2014 which contained a sex toy, according to reports \u2014 that said “get your freak on.” The note was written on a TSA notice of inspection form, leading Filipovic to believe it was written by someone at airport security.<\/p>\n

TSA said on its\u00a0blog<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Tuesday that it had conducted an investigation into the incident and removed the employee that was responsible from duty.<\/p>\n

“That individual was immediately removed from screening operations and appropriate disciplinary action has been initiated,” the agency wrote.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"“The handwritten note was highly inappropriate and unprofessional, and TSA has zero tolerance for this type of behavior.”<\/p>\n

The TSA blog Tuesday also said the agency had issued an apology to Filipovic, who tweeted a\u00a0picture<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0of the note.<\/p>\n

For her part, Filipovic joked in subsequent tweets about the notoriety the incident had brought her.<\/p>\n

“Lesson learned: Don’t tweet anything you don’t want to appear on The View. #FML,” she\u00a0wrote<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Monday.<\/p>\n

“Also, this twitter feed is now reverting to its usual content of wine, cheese, bacon and feminism. Unfollow away,” she followed up in a second\u00a0tweet<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
