How can you find a victim if you don't release the tape so people can look at it an figure out who was a victim?
I just want these scumbags to be branded as registered sex offenders. I want them to be financially ruined and living on the street in downtown Denver begging for food. Better yet, I want them begging for food on 16th street wearing their TSA uniforms.

Behind every errant frontline groper, there's an entire hierarchy of AWOL, ineffective or complicit LTSOs, STSOs and suits.

And what evidence can you put forth that shows why these broad groups are any more derserving of trust than the two perverts that were fired?

I believe that the dirt goes much deeper than just the two fired TSA employees.
Edit to add: Link to the police report can be found here

The TSA doesn't inform the general public with video documentation of what kind of gropings it considers permissible and non-permissible, so how is the public to know when the groping is unlawful and when it supposedly is not unlawful?
An ignorant public is a more vulnerable public.

In one case, I asked for law enforcement officer. 2 came, but refused to intervene; said I was "wasting [their] time." Other case, no one was called.

According to the police report TSA Investigator Chris Higgins witnessed the crime. Why did he not step in and stop the sexual assault? Why did TSA Investigator Chris Higgens not obtain a statement from the person that he observed being sexually assaulted.

You are correct that this goes much deeper.
And if anyone believes there are not other screeners getting their jollies patting down passengers, then I have a bridge in Arizona to offer to you.

I was slow to the table coming to the conclusion that Higgens witnessed a crime and did absolutely nothing about it but I got there last night. TSA crows on the blog that it MUST report evidence of a crime when it comes across one, i.e. drugs, "too many credit cards", etc., so why did Higgens not immediately call in the Denver PD when he witnessed a crime taking place. Was he told not to do anything? If so, who instructed him?

What is damning is what TSA Investigator Higgins did not do.
Higgins did not stop the Sexual Assault that he witness being committed.
Higgins did not obtain a statement from the traveler who was Sexually Assualted by the unnamed TSA Screeners.
Higgins did not take immediate steps to have these unnamed TSA Screeners removed from direct contact with the public.
In my book TSA Investigator Higgins is as much at fault as the unnamed TSA Screeners.

Well, it does seem he did something. He apparently made a report to submit to his Chain of Command.

I've twice had the experience of being "invited" to a private screening for secondary inspection. Both times, I insisted that the screening be done in public. Both times, TSA refused, In one case, the STSO took my stuff away with him to the room while I was still standing at the Xray machine; essentially stealing my items.
The TSA does not allow these searches in public; no matter what. They are ashamed of what they do. And I am ashamed of the lawmakers who allow this to continue.

Looking back at my post, I realize I had forgotten the part about having the LEO (not TSA) conduct the secondary patdown in public.

"Although the TSA learned of the accusation on Nov. 18, 2014 via an anonymous tip from one of the agency’s own employees, reports show that it would be nearly three months before anything was done."
