Bag Screener | featured news

Four Transportation Security Administration agents are out of a job and a dozen more may be fired after the agency says they failed to properly screen checked luggage at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport.

The Transportation Security Administration says it plans to fire the screener who left a note in the luggage of a female passenger. A message posted on the agency’s blog late Thursday said, “TSA has completed its investigation of this matter, and has initiated action to remove the individual from federal service.”

Dozens of employees at Honolulu's airport were fired or suspended after an investigation found workers did not screen checked bags for explosives, the Transportation Security Administration said Friday.
