You don't need to have criminal charges against you to be denied a job.

I'll go back to the quote from the article where it sais that he WAS removed because he DID molest children, one of them 10-15 times.

A background check from ANY employer should have found this out, since the news team obviously did.

You can be fired from a job for stealing and still have no criminal charges filed. I *do* wonder why the man never went to jail but this isn't uncommon when it comes to these cases.

I know people who have been blackballed from jobs for the SUSPICION that they stole from a previous employer. For my job as a programmer in the Air Force, I had to get a security clearance and they literally called people IN ISRAEL from my background to check out my 'character'.

This is another example of the TSA's incompetence.
