Did A Gay New Zealand Airport Guard Enjoy Strip Searching Too Much?
Glenn Rankin and John Smith, two security officers with New Zealand’s Christchurch International Airport, got sacked for allgedly talking to the press about a “flamboyant” gay co-worker who “sought more than his share of strip-search assignments, made lewd comments about male passengers… and used recreational drugs.” Rankin and Smith deny talking to the press and want their jobs back, but their former bosses aren’t so agreeable.
Meanwhile the homo in question, who’s also accused of using recreational drugs, still works at the airport. As for all the strip search notches: Customs manager Stuart Lumsden says they only seem high because he worked the busiest shifts and was often the only male officer available to conduct searches on men — and only did so with the approval of a senior officer. Can’t a ‘mo take a pleasure in his work without being labeled a perv?
Who writes this blog these days? Its just not very crisp. To be kind.
As to the strip searching jerk, gay or straight, he should be fired & charged. Being sexually harassed is nasty business, no matter what side of the fence its coming from.

@TiredOldQueen@Queerty: Where does the article say the employee sexually harassed anyone? If you actually read and comprehend what was written you’d see the employee only did the searches with a supervisor’s approval. If the other 2 employees were fired due to their actions then it should tell you who’s in the wrong. No company would risk a sexual harassment lawsuit so I highly doubt this gay guy is guilty of such.

“Can’t a ‘mo take a pleasure in his work without being labeled a perv?”
Thats not exactly a good defence for a strip searcher accused of sexual misconduct in a workplace. I for one think its just the phobes pointing fingers, but still, nice going by titillating the article with erotic pictures and making THAT comment in a rather sensitive issue.

Question:
What’s your opinion on
Straight men strip searching straight women
Gay man strip searching gay men
Gay woman strip searching gay women
Gay man strip searching straight women
(etc. all 16 permutations. In this hypothetical assume that “gay” is a binomial function)
Is it really a good idea to have gay men conduct strip searches on men? Not at all questioning this particular guard’s sense of professional responsibility. Just the procedure in question.

#4 where does it say in this article that the “mo” was accused of anything?
And you must have the sense of humor of a bowl of dirt. Queerty saying “can’t a mo enjoy his work…” that was just humorous, not a serious defense. Come on, in all the reading you do, nothing has a joke or little witty remark in it, ever?

Can’t one ask for an airport cop to strip search you?
