A U.K. Border Agency officer has been dismissed from duty after alleged misconduct proved true. The officer used his access to national security databases to put his wife on the “do not fly list” after the women left for a trip to Pakistan. Upon her return the woman was not permitted to board the plane nor was she allowed to return to the U.K. for three years.
The story broke after the officer applied for a promotion with more security clearance and his wife’s name was found on the “suspect” list. The officer confessed to the tampering and has since been fired.
