TSA mistakenly nabs one of its own

Henry sez: "Another Brazil-style 'Tuttle-Buttle' situation:"

Michael Bills thought he had a pretty good gig with the federal Transportation Security Administration. His job as a screener at Love Field was government work–good bennies, nice retirement package. An ex-Marine and former quality inspector for a company in Garland before he was laid off, Bills says he even turned down other potential employers to stick with the TSA, where he worked for about 12 months.

Then the TSA fired him last October; said he failed to pass his background security check. Even worse, the TSA called him a sex offender–and worse than that, a child molester.

Except he isn't. The TSA–remember, these are the people who are supposed to weed out the terrorists from the regular airline passengers–got the wrong man.

"What hurt me the most is they accused me of being a sex offender," Bills says. "To me, that's the worst thing you can do."
