The Federal Air Marshal Service is facing allegations of workplace discrimination and intoxicated guards that have prompted a government investigation, The New York Times reported.
The Transportation Security Administration allegedly now checks regularly whether armed guards are showing up for flight assignments sober, and the Times cited multiple sources who describe an agency in disarray.
"We take any allegation of inappropriate behavior very seriously," a TSA spokesman told The Hill. "TSA and the Federal Air Marshal Service leadership take the care of our people very seriously and vigorously dispute any indication otherwise."
