TSA Probing Vitter Incident
The Transportation Security Administration is examining Sen. David Vitter's much-reported decision to open the closed gateway door to his plane -- even though he was warned against it by an airline worker.
"We will be reviewing the alleged incident," Lauren Gaches, a TSA spokeswoman, told On Call this evening.
Roll Call first reported that Vitter, a Louisiana Republican known to the wider Washington world for showing up in the phone records of the DC madam, set off the security alarm Thursday when he tried to board a United Airlines flight from Washington Dulles to New Orleans. Vitter arrived at the gate 20 minutes before departure, and having been denied access to the plane, spiraled into what Roll Call called a "timeworn 'do-you-know-who-I-am' tirade" that "grew quite heated." He set off the security alarm when he opened the door, a spy told the paper.
