A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employee “in a management position” at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was taken into custody after a warrant for her arrest was found in Florida.
TSA Assistant Federal Security Director Maxine McManaman was arrested in Atlanta by U.S. Customs and Border Protection last week after a warrant for her arrest posted by the St. Lucie County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office was discovered.
According to the Port St. Lucie police, McManaman allegedly exploited a relative suffering from dementia to falsify documents in her name along with her alleged accomplice Delroy Chambers Sr.
Florida authorities have stated that the duo allegedly forged signatures on a quitclaim deed that would transfer ownership of a property in the relative’s name over to them.
Police claim that the relative whose property was transferred to McManaman and Chambers was in Atlanta on the specified date, so the relative was unable to sign the quitclaim deed.
Prior to this, on December 20th, Chambers was taken into custody in Port St. Lucie and charged with two counts of forgery, simple neglect, and exploitation of an adult who was elderly or disabled but he eventually bonded out of jail.
McManaman is charged with forgery, a third-degree felony and was arrested after landing in Atlanta on an international flight.
Reports stated that she had been working at TSA since 2002 and held a management position.
A TSA spokesperson told the press that any employee who does not meet their fundamental ethics will be held accountable.
“TSA holds its employees to the highest professional and ethical standards and has no tolerance for misconduct on or off duty,” a TSA spokesperson said. “Any employee who fails to meet our fundamental ethical standards is held accountable.”
McManaman is now being held at Clayton County Jail in Georgia and has been placed on leave while the investigation is pending.

This incident raises concerns about the integrity and trustworthiness of TSA employees, who are responsible for ensuring the safety and security of travelers at airports across the country. As a federal agency, the TSA has a duty to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethics.
The alleged actions of Maxine McManaman and Delroy Chambers Sr. demonstrate a gross abuse of power and a violation of the public’s trust. Exploiting a vulnerable relative with dementia to forge documents and transfer ownership of a property is not only illegal but also morally reprehensible.
This case also highlights the importance of thorough background checks and ongoing monitoring of TSA employees. The fact that McManaman had been working at TSA for over two decades and held a management position raises questions about the effectiveness of the agency’s screening processes. It is alarming to think that someone with such alleged criminal intent was able to go undetected for so long.
It is essential for federal agencies like the TSA to implement robust mechanisms to prevent and detect misconduct among their employees. This includes regular re-evaluations of employees’ backgrounds, performance assessments, and an environment that encourages whistleblowing and reporting of suspicious activities.
While this incident is undoubtedly concerning, it is crucial not to paint all TSA employees with the same brush. The majority of TSA officers and staff members are dedicated professionals who work tirelessly to keep the traveling public safe. It is the responsibility of the agency to take swift action in cases of misconduct and to reinforce its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and accountability.
As this investigation unfolds, it is essential that justice is served and that appropriate measures are taken to ensure that incidents like this do not happen again in the future. The public deserves to have confidence in the integrity of the TSA and its employees.
In conclusion, the arrest of TSA employee Maxine McManaman for forgery and the alleged exploitation of a relative with dementia is a serious matter that raises concerns about the ethics and accountability of TSA employees. This incident underscores the importance of robust background checks and ongoing monitoring of federal employees to prevent misconduct and maintain public trust. The TSA must take appropriate action to address this issue and reinforce its commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
