TSA Screener caught sneaking gun through x-ray, isn't fired

I saw your post last Friday, but was hoping to get more info from an employee still with TSA. The folks I emailed this weekend (baggage and personnel) had not heard of this story. The only place I can find it is on the Colorado Fox affiliate and here. I find it amazing that this story has no legs.

I am floored that this individual still has his job. He must either be an exceptional employee or be very well connected. If I lived in Denver I would be contacting that airports Federal Security Director, David Bassett and ask him why that screener is still employed.

I worked for the TSA for a little less than a year (2002-2003) and can tell you stories both good and bad. I'm sorry the public only hears about the bad ones which sadly, appear too often.
