Interesting, but I don't think she was fired because she was Wiccan. She was late often, and made some mistakes, so they could fire her because of that.

From way over here it seems like America is on the down-and-down and TSA seems to be leading the charge.

Having worked for TSA I can say with certainty that she is far better off not working for that farce of a government agency. Literally every week a new "security procedure" would be sprung on us that honestly looked like it was thought out by "Larry, Moe and Curly".

TSA was only created as a "safety net" for the airlines, just in case terrorists did take over another plane. You can't sue the government.

In Wicca, it is believed that the choices you make both good and bad come back 3 fold. Also the Wiccan Rede is "An it harm none do what ye will". A person who is truly Wiccan would not wish harm or "cast a spell" in any negative way. I do understand that was not the final reason she was fired but it clearly did play a role in the events that took place. I think it was simply a co worker that didn't like her and was looking for a way to get her out and she did so by bringing to attention something that may be seen as strange or unconventional by today's standards/

Perhaps they grounded her because they thought a broomstick wasn't a safe more of air transportation.


BAM!
