Well, it appears that TSA agents are doing much more than just checking your items for safety, as this video shows a couple of them rummaging through the bins and stealing money.
From TMZ:
The sticky-fingered suspects, Labarrius Williams and Josue Gonzalez, were on duty scoping out bags being scanned in Miami International Airport in late June and early July.
On both occasions, the Transportation Security Administration agents worked in tandem to snatch money from carry-ons stashed in bins on a conveyer belt, according to a police affidavit.
Check out the surveillance footage ... Williams and Gonzalez are standing at the carousel, using it to loot cash from a constant stream of other people's personal belongings. You can see the men stuffing their hands into the bags and shoving the bills into their pockets.
The alleged thieves were arrested in July and charged with grand theft, along with a third TSA employee, Elizabeth Fuster. But the case against Fuster -- who was originally accused of stealing $600 from someone’s wallet -- was eventually dismissed.
Perhaps they need to conduct more thorough background checks and vetting for TSA employees going forward.
I mean, you're literally handing off extremely important personal possessions and sometimes physical money to these people. Shouldn't the most trustworthy people possible be placed in these positions?
