Orlando International Airport TSA Agent Caught Stealing Cash From Woman’s Luggage
As if airport security wasn’t stressful enough, an airline passenger in Florida has had to confront a TSA officer who tried to steal money from her luggage. (nypost.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Well, since he is a member of a certain ethnic group that would be considered a lynching.
I believe lynching is race neutral. Horsethieves were lynched regardless of race, color or creed.

My wife has 2 artificial hips and after going through the x-ray device, she still has to be "wanded" and patted down. I always proceed her so that I can reclaim our scanned items including her purse, while she waits for a female TSA agent. Now, I am also patted down EVERY time we fly. We are both detained before either can claim our scanned items sitting at the end of the conveyor. We are both 80 and statistics show that the elderly are considered easy targets for theft, so we have to be extra diligent. We will only fly if it is an emergency.
My wife has two knee replacements AND is a federal officer and goes through the same thing. I get it now too, ever since we got married, and like you, the only way anyone is getting us to fly commercial again is if it's a dire emergency. Between the TSA and the way passengers are treated by the airlines these days, it's just not worth it. We'd rather drive and get there in a few days, or take the train.
as with any job/position,there are tests,screenings and interviews, and you will get both good and bad people,because some are just better at doing a resume or being interviewed (and they all must past security screenings themselves)..when tsa first came into existence, there were a ton of applicants,and the majority of new hires I saw were ex airline employees,retirees and some ex policemen or military (they do not carry a firearm) ..as time went by, there seemed to be a more diverse group and a lot of younger people, both male and female..yes, there were and still are some who might abuse the position,but I saw them on a daily basis,and most just did their job as they were trained to do..i might also add that on occasion,airline employees have been fired for stealing items from baggage that is checked and does not go through the tsa line, but only the loaded baggage x ray machine..
