A man in San Francisco has been accused of drinking a bit too much and posing as a Transportation Security Administration, or TSA agent.
While portraying the TSA official, the male allegedly patted down two women, both of whom had no clue the man wasn’t legit. The troubling incidents occurred on Tuesday.
The 53-year-old was actually a ticketed passenger who passed through the security checkpoint at San Francisco International Airport. After that, he hung out in the airport lounge where he drank for a few hours.
He then returned to the passenger screening area and spoke to a female traveler. He was able to convince her to go into a private booth with him. Somehow, the man obtained plastic blue gloves and he was already wearing khaki pants along with a blue polo shirt so he looked the part of a TSA agent.
It’s currently not clear what happened inside the confined space but officials believe he groped the woman. Real TSA agents spotted the male as he took another unsuspecting female into the booth.
They confronted and detained him until police arrived. He was arrested for public drunkenness, but may face additional charges in the future. The Transportation Security Administration is looking into the incidents and hopes to find the two alleged victims.
