TSA Agent Helps Thwart Wanted Criminal From Passing Security Checkpoint

A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officer is being celebrated for helping catch a man convicted of manslaughter.

According to the official website of the TSA, the unnamed agent was working the security checkpoint at Richmond International Airport last week when a male traveler presented her with an identification card believed to be fake.

The officer asked the man about the ID, but he couldn’t explain why it looked tampered with, so she called on a TSA supervisor and manager to help handle the situation. The agents called the Richmond International Airport Police Department, who arrested him and transferred him to Henrico County for processing and identification.
