Airport security worker’s horrendous note to passenger goes viral

An airport security worker from New York, US, has been fired from her job after handing a passenger a cruel handwritten note that insulted his appearance. 

The incident, which occurred in June, has since gone viral after passenger Neal Strassner obtained security footage from the bizarre moment a female security worker from Greater Rochester International Airport gave Mr Strassner a note after he passed through a metal detector. 

Mr Strassner didn’t think much of the situation and he headed toward the gate. 

That’s when he said the woman yelled out, “You gonna open the note?”

Once he did, the woman burst out laughing. 

The note had a cruel message about the man’s appearance, which read “You Ugly!!!!” on a ripped piece of cardboard. 

After complaining to her supervisors, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) revealed the woman worked for a contractor. 

The woman has since been let go from her position. 

The video shared to Youtube has since had over 499k views.
