The bizarre action of an airport security worker has led to her firing.
Passenger Neal Strassner was handed a written note while waiting in the TSA security line at Rochester Airport with the message: "You ugly!!!"
After reading the note he said the female agent laughed loudly.
Strassner said he was so bemused he filed a Freedom of Information Act request for CCTV footage just to prove the weird incident really happened.
That eventually led to the employee being fired.
She was an employee of Virginia security company VMD Corp which is a contractor for the TSA.
"TSA holds contractors to the highest ethical standards and has zero tolerance for this type of behavior. The employee has since been terminated by the contractor," the agency said.
Strassner didn’t seem too irked by the experience and complemented the agency’s handling of the incident.
"This was a totally weird event that they seemed to handle properly. I just want to make sure they [give] some credit to their organization and don’t let one lady trash their whole reputation," Strassner told news station WROC Channel 8.
