Philly airport workers face firing in bribe probe
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Transportation Security Administration says it is seeking to fire seven Philadelphia International Airport workers it says were involved in a bribery scheme.
The agency said Friday its decision comes after an eight-month investigation.
Ten employees were removed from their duties in November amid allegations they gave money to a training instructor in exchange for passing annual proficiency exams.

Former TSA training instructor Shannon Gilliam pleaded guilty in February in federal court to taking a $200 bribe from a Philadelphia security officer. He was sentenced to 300 hours of community service and six months of house arrest.
