, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our priority is providing a comfortable and safe experience when traveling through John Wayne Airport. We are forwarding this information to TSA.Joseph-Day also added in his Twitter thread that the TSA agents threatened to call the authorities if he did not complete the search, one that made him uncomfortable.
“It’s one thing if they apologized after my concerns, but the supervisor threatened to call the sheriff on me if I didn’t finish the search after I expressed I was just violated & told me to watch my mouth. I don’t think it’s just a TSA issue. “I’m not sharing this on Twitter for sympathy. I’m sharing this so this group of gentle[men] and staff aren’t allowed to do this ever again to another human being.”“TSA is aware of allegations made by a traveler who was screened by TSA officers at John Wayne Airport Friday morning.
Joseph-Day, a Stroudsburg native who was drafted in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Rutgers University, finished his first season with the Chargers in 2022. He had a career-high 56 tackles along with two sacks and an interception.
