I just read on AVweb 14 American Eagle acft were damaged at ORD by a
TSA inspector using TAT probes as handholds to "test the security of
the aircraft from tampering". 40 flights were delayed while the
aircraft were inspected.

"Our inspector was following routine procedure for securing the
aircraft that were on the tarmac," TSA official Elio Montenegro told
ABC.

Yep, just doing his job as a member of the Department of Aviation Prevention.
