A former Transportation Security Administration agent at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago revealed a number of secrets from his time as a TSA agent, alleging agents laughed at passengers’ naked X-ray images and used racial profiling.
Jason Edward Harrington, who was employed at O’Hare from 2007 until last year, said the agency’s “day-to-day operations represented an “abuse of public trust and funds,” he wrote in an article for Politico.
Harrington said up until 2010, TSA officers were provided with a “Selectee Passport List,” which listed 12 nations — including Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Cuba, and others– that automatically triggered enhanced passenger screening.
When TSA first introduced full body scanners, Harrington said workers stationed in an “image operator” room would review scans of passengers’ bodies.
