Fake TSA screener pats down women at San Francisco International Airport, authorities say

FRESNO, Calif (KFSN) -- A man is accused of posing as security screener at the San Francisco International Airport and giving women private pat downs.

Authorities say he was a ticketed passenger who went through the security checkpoint. He then went to an airport lounge, where authorities say he spent a few hours drinking. And that's when the trouble began. He's accused of returning to the screening area and convincing two female passengers to go into a private booth.

TSA agents became suspicious and detained the 53-year-old. He faces a public drunkenness charge, but could face additional charges.
