[This is the original tweet](http://twitpic.com/753bq9) [This is a site where she shows righteous indignation](http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2011/10/24/your-tax-dollars-at-work-2/) [Here is a story with more details](http://www.dailydot.com/news/tsa-jill-filipovic-vibrator-note-freak-on/) Basically, this cunt with a website went through customs with a vibrator. This fact was not made public (by the TSA agent) in any way. Upon arriving at her room the cunt discovered a note that appears to reference the fact that she had a vibrator in her bag. This cunt then went to the internet to point out the fact that someone whose job it was to go through her luggage discovered a vibrator, and instead of just letting it go, this TSA agent left her a personal note. This cunt decided to make a big deal about this and get some publicity for her blog/twitter feed so she acted like this was a huge invasion of her privacy and a hugely innappropriate act by a TSA agent that was just being a human being. > [@](#): > > “Total violation of privacy, wildly inappropriate and clearly not ok, but I also just died laughing in my hotel room.” In more recent news, [the agent was fired.](http://overheadbin.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/10/25/8481160-tsa-worker-who-left-sex-toy-note-will-be-fired) First of all, the “violation of privacy” was this TSA agent’s job. The note was probably somewhat inappropriate, but really just a human acting like a human. The reward for this TSA agent trying to act like a human being to another human being instead of acting like an uncaring robot is losing her job. No wonder public service workers act like uncaring, inhuman robots; they will lose their jobs otherwise. Congratulations, cunt, you got your 15 minutes of fame, and all it cost you was a faceless person’s job. It cost the rest of the world the likelyhood that we will be able to encounter somebody to wants to keep a job that acts like a human being instead of a robot, but you got your publicity. I’d flame you on your twitpic, but I don’t tweet. I’d flame you on your blog, but I don’t want to subscribe. So I’m doing it here. ---

This reminds me of that episode of South Park where there was a counter for how many times they said “shit” on the air. In any case, your outrage is overdone. Roddy ---

This cunt then went to the internet to point out the fact that someone whose job it was to go through her luggage discovered a vibrator, and instead of just letting it go, this TSA agent left her a personal note. Why would a TSA agent leave any kind of note or comment? I would be a little weirded out about any correspondence of that sort left by TSA. ---

Who the fuck cares. If they didn’t want to be fired, they should have remained professional. And it’s TSA. No sympathy here. ---

Same agency which promised discretion when given the power to see through our clothes? Same agency trusted with patting our privates, and going through our personal items? Inappropriate, unprofessional, indiscrete, creepy, and jerkish behavior. The agent was totally out of line. And the OP shows an equal degree of cluelessness. ---

You’re pitting the wrong person. The TSA agent fucked up in amazingly stupid fashion. If they gave Darwin Awards for career killing moves, this would win a prize. ---

First, could you be a little bit more of a raging misogynist assmonkey? Here’s a hint, douchebag, the word “cunt” is a slur, and just because you don’t like something a woman does, you don’t any more right to call her a cunt than you have the right to call a black person who does something you don’t like a n\*\*\*\*r. Get your act together. Second, 15 minutes of fame? The woman is a published author and highly respected and frequently requested speaker around the country. Are you? No? Who’s grasping for straws now? Third, the TSA jackass was unprofessional and inappropriate in every imaginable way. They violated the rules of their job, and did so in a way that was invasive and offensive. If you want to keep your job, you follow the fucking rules. If you don’t want to be a creepy fuckstick, you don’t leave creepy fuckstick notes on people’s personal items, whether they’re vibrators or anything else. If you do decide to break the rules and act like a creepy fuckstick in the bargain, you lose your damn job. Thems the breaks. Too bad, so sad. ---

> [@Rucksinator](#): > > This is part of what got me riled up. Comments on this story implied that it was justified for TSA employees to get the shaft because the TSA violates our privacy. No, TSA agent was fired because we _entrust_ them with our privacy. Sneeze-burger: fire the fast food employee. Dentist who cops a feel while patient is gassed: fired. Drunk pilot: fired. Teacher who touches children inappropriately: fired. This wasn’t some dumbass fellow passenger in the adjoining seat who spied the toy in her bag and left a creepy note. This was an employee trained to respect our privacy as they complete their job of checking for weapons. Weapons and potential weapons should be their only professional concern. See where I’m going with this? It’s not too late to admit your knee-jerk reaction might have been premature. ---

> [@runner pat](#): > > I don’t believe this part is true. 😉 Well, the statement of intent is there, anyways. 30 seconds of Google-fu renders the relevant job provisions: [“Enforce a zero tolerance policy for any form of harassment in the workplace and in the treatment of the public we serve.”](http://www.tsa.gov/assets/pdf/civil_rights_policy.pdf) ---

It’s hard to believe that anybody is coming to the defense of the TSA agent. But then, there’s always someone. Limpdick, what if they had opened your bag found a condom and left a note that said “too small for Magnums, huh?” Or they had found some lotion/lubricant and left a note saying, “have fun, gayboy.” The more and faster we can get some of asshats that work for the TSA on to the unemployment line the better the world will be. ---
