Kanye West - Kim Kardashian And Kanye West In Middle Of Airport Security Drama

The Gold Digger hitmaker and his pregnant reality star girlfriend had just landed at the John F. Kennedy International Airport on a flight from Brazil on Tuesday (13Feb13) when they were whisked away by an airline greeter.

The employee reportedly let the couple bypass a Transportation Security Administration (Tsa) checkpoint to get to another gate quicker, but the stars were later yanked off their connecting flight due to the safety breach and re-screened.

And now the agent is being investigated by the Tsa over the alleged violation.

A representative tells Tmz.com, "An airline employee escorted the two travellers through a non-public area in order to provide expedited access to their domestic flight. In doing so, the airline employee violated security protocols by permitting the travellers to by-pass the Tsa security checkpoint.

"Tsa officials learned of the violation and conducted a private screening of the two passengers in the area of the jetway. The passengers were cleared to board their flight, which departed after a delay of approximately 50 minutes. Tsa is actively investigating the incident."
