Boston Blotter: TSA Goon Charged with Child Rape

-- Sean Shanahan, a TSA employee whose responsibilities include patting down airline passengers, was arrested yesterday on multiple charges of sex crimes against a minor, including statutory rape. The 44-year-old Winthrop man is sure to become the poster boy for privacy advocates who oppose the TSA's full-body scanners. The alleged victim, a 14-year-old girl, was reportedly a friend of Shanahan's daughter who would spend the night at their house, giving Shanahan the opportunity for the alleged rapes. [Herald]
