The Transportation Security Administration employee disciplined for allegedly leaving a personal note on an inspection card in a traveler's suitcase will be fired, the agency said on its blog.
"TSA has completed its investigation of this matter, and has initiated action to remove the individual from federal service," the agency said.
The disciplinary action comes after New York-based blogger and lawyer Jill Filipovic, who was traveling with a small vibrator in her checked luggage, discovered that someone had scrawled “Get your freak on girl,” across the TSA paperwork left in her bag.
Under the title “Your tax dollars at work,” Filipovic posted the note on the Feministe blog on Oct. 24 and added her own comment, “Total violation of privacy, wildly inappropriate and clearly not ok, but I also just died laughing in my hotel room.”
She also Tweeted a photo of the note, adding: “Just unpacked my suitcase and found this note from TSA. Guess they discovered a 'personal item' in my bag. Wow.”
