Screener makes threats & leaves suspicious package @ LAX
One of many who stick their hands down our pants, for our own protection, of course.

Didn't he pass a background check when he was hired? How could this have happened? :confused:

Looks like this officer was a real catch!

I'd imagine their crystal ball was broken the day they did his background check.

Is this any different than disgruntled former employees of other employers doing crazy things?

Transportation Security Officer Nna Alpha Onuoha had unfettered access to the "sterile" parts of LAX.... yet was so unstable that a 15 year-old passenger could figure out something was seriously wrong with him, per this article from June: Los Angeles Times: TSA investigates claim LAX agent 'shamed' teenage girl over attire June 18, 2013 Be sure to check out Transportation Security Officer Nna Alpha Onuoha's website, as documented in this article: KTLA-Television: Evacuations Ordered in Inglewood at Home of Arrested TSA Worker September 11, 2013 |

TSO Nna Alpha Onuoha RESIGNED (not fired) on 9/10/2013
Some very interesting details in this article:
LA Times: TSA agent accused in 9/11 threat; website warned of 'end of the world September 11, 2013 - UPDATE 10:50 a.m A short quote: FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said Onuaha had been a screener at LAX since 2006, but recently was suspended from his job. On Wednesday morning, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force was searching the Harvest Christian Fellowship Church in Riverside and a van in its parking lot as part of its investigation. The search is out of an “abundance of caution” after federal agents arrested Onuoha in his van there Tuesday night, Eimiller said. After his suspension Tuesday, Onuoha left a resignation letter and a package at the TSA's LAX office which contained unspecified threats against the airport, a law enforcement source said. If I am reading this correctly, he was suspended from his TSA job yesterday (on Tuesday, 9/10/2013). He responded to that suspension by resigning and making threats. When did he last screen passengers and what caused TSA to suspend him? I wonder if someone, outside of TSA, discovered his website...maybe the boingboing editor finally found out the name of the TSO who had harrassed his daughter and did his own background checking? |
An update as he gets ready to stand trial (or was supposed to).

I don't know whether a federal background check even looks for past commitments to mental institutions, since such a commitment is considered health-relation information. It might be protected under ADA. It might also be simply considered irrelevant to those paranoids among us who are tasked with looking for terrorists and foreign spies; those who might become terrorists or foreign spies; those who have associated with terrorists or foreign spies; or those who once caught a whiff of a terrorist's or foreign spy's cologne from across a crowded room and are thus considered "under the influence" of said terrorist or foreign spy. |
