Alleged Misconduct In Cincinnati Air Marshal’s Office: Woman Lost Security Clearance In Retaliation Attempt
An explosive report to be released on Thursday on the Federal Air Marshals Program focuses, in part, on alleged misconduct at the Cincinnati field office.
Florida Congressman Edolphus Towns has called the airport's office one of the worst in the nation. In 2010, Towns highlighted the Cincinnati office in a letter to the Secretary of Homeland Security. 9 News obtained that letter, which says discrimination complaints were filed by seven employees in the Cincinnati office.
Two years ago, Cincinnati agent Nancy Leidner almost lost her security clearance. She claimed it was in retaliation for speaking up about sexual harassment. Six male agents then submitted affidavits supporting Leidner.
In two current lawsuits, agents claim they face retaliation for testifying as witnesses in that case.
