The fact that you have not witnessed something does not mean that it did not happen. Even TSA admitted that a screener at DEN worked with a partner to manipulate the NoS on attractive male pax. You may not have witnessed it, but it did happen or TSA would never have admitted it.

You may have never witnessed a wheelchair-bound pax being mistreated, but DEN TSA agreed that their guy mistreated Amy Van Dyken.

If you think that if you don't personally witness something, it never happened, then perhaps you should have a word with HQ, because it appears they think otherwise.
