TSA forces Richmond airport to issue access badge to convicted felon
The TSA is under fire for hiring a convicted felon and forcing the agent’s assigned airport to give him an access badge.
The unidentified TSA employee was hired by the agency after passing their background checks – but when he applied for his airport badge, Richmond airport turned him down, citing a conviction for robbery when he was 18.
When the airport denied the badge application, the TSA demanded that they reconsider, citing “unspecified consequences” if they refused.
