A ticketed passenger was arrested by airport police after he allegedly swiped some latex gloves and detained several women for additional screening in a private booth within San Francisco airport.

The 53 year old man spent several hours inside the airport bar before deciding to pose as a TSA agent.

According to CBS San Francisco, the man, who was wearing khaki pants and a blue polo, may have swiped plastic blue gloves to look the part.



The man returned to the passenger screening area and convinced a passenger who was already screened to go to a private booth. What happened inside isn’t exactly clear, because she disappeared to catch her flight.

He was arrested after real TSA agents saw him attempting to take another woman to the booth.

The man was arrested for public drunkenness charge to start, additional charges will likely be forthcoming.
