TSA reminds passengers to ‘remain calm and respectful’ after security officers attacked, bitten
Fox News
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is asking passengers to “remain calm and respectful” at security checkpoints following a series of incidents involving unruly travelers, including one who allegedly bit two agents.
That suspect faces state charges for criminal trespass, fleeing and evading police, assault and resisting arrest. Both passengers face up to $13,910 in fines, a TSA statement said. "Passengers do not arrive at an airport or board a plane with the intent of becoming unruly or violent; however, what is an exciting return to travel for some may be a more difficult experience for others, which can lead to unexpected, and unacceptable, behaviors," TSA Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Administrator Darby LaJoye said in a news release. "We appreciate our continued partnership and coordination with the FAA and stand together in a unified position of zero-tolerance with respect to attacks against our employees."More Related News
