Airport officers protest firing

DAYTON, Ohio - Three airport security officers say they were wrongfully fired after they stopped a pilot they suspected was drunk.

The officers say they were following protocol when they stopped the AirTran Airways pilot May 3 at a security checkpoint at the Dayton International Airport after one officer thought he smelled alcohol on the pilot's breath.

A breath test showed the pilot, whose name was not released, was sober, AirTran officials said.

In termination letters, the Transportation Security Administration told security screeners Debra Cummings and Rick Fader and supervisor Robert Phelan that they treated the pilot rudely. They were fired June 12.

TSA spokesman Chris Rhatigan declined to comment on the incident.
