Pat downs a pedo's dream job. Even with the parent present they can't read the guy's mind now can they?

BOSTON -- A former TSA employee was arraigned on child pornography charges, Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone said Thursday.Andrew Cheever, 33, of Lowell, was arraigned in Lowell District Court on two counts of possession of child pornography. He was ordered held on $15,000 cash bail with the conditions that he has no contact with children under the age of 18, no employment or volunteer work with children under the age of 18 and does not use a computer or the Internet.

On Oct. 15, a search warrant was executed at Cheever's home, where the suspected computer was registered, Leone said. As a result of the search warrant, multiple computers, hard drives and multiple pieces of external digital media were confiscated from the home, Leone said. An onsite preview of the computer and two external hard drives confirmed that Cheever was storing more than 10,000 child porn videos and images, Leone said.

20-30% of TSA screeners reportedly have records, so this doesn't surprise me.

Oh come on you guys.
You DO want the fondling done by experts, or not?

No I want it done by Anna Torv or Yvonne Strahovski

I'll settle for Ines Sainz...

But, on a more serious note -- why is he a FORMER TSA employee? Is this sort of thing going to end up being like cops? Doesn't matter if the guy was a former cop because he was fired for committing crimes -- every headline about him reads "Former Cop..." What if TSA fired him when they discovered that he's into kids, and initiated the investigation that led to his arrest?
