"You ugly!"

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – An airport security worker in New York has been fired for handing a passenger a handwritten note that said “You ugly!!!”

The June incident came to light this week after passenger Neal Strassner obtained security video through a public records request and posted it to YouTube.

The video from Greater Rochester International Airport shows the worker handing Strassner the note after he passes through a metal detector.

Strassner says he didn’t think much of it and continued toward his gate. That’s when he says the woman yelled out: “You gonna open the note?”

1. It is hard to believe that a federal law enforcement and security employee would be unprofessional

I have heard that such federal employees as TSA agents and prison guards pay very close attention to their duties, without fail.

Duplicate thread, btw, with lots of fun & games:

2. So, she apparently had one or more of these notes written up in advance?

That's how it appears. All a big joke for some of these TSA, I guess (or their contractors)...
