If we needed more proof that being employed by the TSA sends some people on a power trip there’s this news item to consider:
Claiming he was a federal agent couldn’t keep a Chicago man from being arrested at Great American Ball Park on Saturday.
According to court records, when a concession employees working the View Level refused to serve Rafael Rosario, 26, he asked two more times.
When Cincinnati Police asked to see Rosario’s I.D., he tensed up and claimed he was a federal agent and the officer had no right to see his I.D. Records show Rosario is employed by the Transportation Safety Administration at O’Hare Airport in Chicago.
The police arrested him under the charge of disorderly conduct while intoxicated and being a total asshat. I guess all that bossing around at the airport made him think it applied out in the real world as well.
TSA does not mean he is a federal agent. His authority (What little he has) ends when he leaves airport grounds. Last I checked, Great American Ball Park was not on O’Hare property.
Well, that’s not nearly the worst TSA staff does:
Commuter Flights Grounded Thanks To Bumbling TSA Inspector
An unruly fan at a game? Now there’s a shocker. That’s like arresting a drunk in a bar. I thought you just got kicked out for that. He actually did give them his ID (although he THOUGHT he was giving them something else)

Tony provides us with yet another fine example of what a dumbass is.
why, whose job is it, or should he have been fully trained to damage aircraft.
I doubt he was ordered to climb up the outside. Why blame the agency? Not sure why the spokesman was trying to cover. SOP would be to say an employee screwed up, your investigating.
It’ll come to you if you think about it some more…
