TSA Stealing iPads at DFW

I couldn't work for the TSA and hold any measure of self respect. I'd rather pick up dog shit all day.

Dead serious. I looked into working for the TSA after Iraq.

Here's the real test. Can you stand around and do nothing while the bin supply runs out at the security entrance? After a traveler asks for more bins, can you look very irritated and put out that you have to wheel more bins to the other side of the metal detector?

If so, you may be TSA management material.

i always notice a trend about TSA workers, kind of like the people who work in the airport food vending places.

Been to Atlanta lately? Bunch of racists working both. Sucks to be a white guy paying with a $100 at any of their fast food places. She acted like I owed her MY change.

Can you pick up an empty milk crate, walk it around a table, put it down, pick another up and repeat a few times? If so, you're good to go

With the pay as low and requirements as they for a TSA agent they ate going to get the scumbags. They need better supervisors and to weed out the shitheads that without the TSA would be flipping burgers.


I thought about applying for TSA and still might but the pay flat out sucks with no offered OT.

I also travel a lot and always throw a box of granola bars in my checked luggage to eat for breakfast in the hotel.

Guess what wasn't in my suitcase when I landed in South Dakota on Monday? Fucking thieves.

I'd be interested to hear the stats on firearms going missing vs. ipads, rolexes, etc.

I'm betting very few go missing

ipads, yes, but the TSA would never steal a Rolex - would they, Dave?

I travel almost weekly and you can bet your ass I make sure I always have an eye on my belongings and even check inventory afterwards. TSA's are jackoffs.

They have a "zero tolerance" policy for theft. Meanwhile they have video of the person stealing the money and said person is only suspended, probably with pay.

It isn't confined to DFW...


NEW YORK (AP) — Police say a Transportation Security Administration agent stole $5,000 in cash from a passenger's jacket as he was going through security at John F. Kennedy International Airport, the latest in a string of thefts that has embarrassed the agency.

Alexandra Schmid took the cash from the jacket of a Bangladeshi passenger as it went along an X-ray conveyor belt at around 8 p.m. Wednesday, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's police force.

"In viewing the surveillance video, we observed her removing the currency from the victim's jacket pocket," Della Fave said.

The video showed Schmid wrapping the money in a plastic glove and taking it to a bathroom, he said.

The money hasn't been recovered, Della Fave said. Police are investigating whether Schmid gave it to another person in the bathroom.

The 31-year-old Schmid was arrested on a charge of grand larceny and suspended pending an investigation. Her attorney's name wasn't immediately known.

Schmid, who lived in Brooklyn, had worked for the TSA for 4½ years, TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said.

"We do hold our officers to very high standards, and we have a zero tolerance policy for theft in the workplace," Farbstein said.

It's the latest in a series of recent theft allegations against TSA employees:
— Last month, an agent who worked searching checked luggage at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport was suspended after the owner of a stolen iPad used the tracking feature on the device to locate it at the agent's home. Police found seven other iPads there.

— Also in January, authorities charged an agent at Miami International Airport with swiping items and luggage and smuggling them out of the airport in a hidden pocket of his work jacket. He was arrested after one of the items, an iPad, was spotted for sale on Craigslist.

— Two other former TSA agents at JFK were sentenced on Jan. 10 to six months in jail and five years' probation for stealing $40,000 from a piece of luggage in January 2011. The agents, Coumar Persad and Davon Webb, had pleaded guilty to grand larceny, obstructing governmental administration and official misconduct.

— Last year, a TSA supervisor and one of his officers pleaded guilty in a scheme that lifted $10,000 to $30,000 from passengers' belongings at Newark Liberty International Airport. A federal judge sentenced the supervisor, Michael Arato, to 2½ years in prison and his subordinate, Al Raimi, to six months of home confinement.

ninjas got me for a multi tool...maybe i'll start flying with a handgun and hard-case my luggage.

I've flown every week for the past 3 years. I've had my bag "tossed" several times - stuff i've packed away carefully has been opened up in my luggage and rummaged through in a hurry, and left open afterward. I don't know if it's TSA or the SWA baggage handlers doing it, but it's irritating.

I never pack anything valuable so they never find anything. Valuable stuff goes on the plane with me.
