PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — It has been revealed that a former Catholic priest, who was defrocked following a discovery he had sexually abused young girls, is now working as a security screener for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

Thomas Harkins, a priest in South Jersey until 2002, is now working at a security terminal at Philadelphia International Airport, the CBS 3 I-Team in Philadelphia reports.

Although his main duty is to screen baggage, part of Harkins’ job with the TSA also involves screening passengers passing through body scanners and conducting patdowns where necessary.
