WHAT A HEEL: TSA (Thieving Security Agent)
Bad enough too many Transportation Security Administration agents are incompetent - a new Government Accountability Office report says that even after they received training in behavior detection techniques, at least 16 alleged terrorists have traveled through U.S. airports – some of them are corrupt as well. Newark Airport screener Leroy Ray was arrested for allegedly stealing $400 dollars from a disabled passenger in a wheelchair as she passed through a security checkpoint, reports WNBC-TV (Channel 4-NYC):
Ray was caught on surveillance video on February 3, 2010, reaching into the woman's bag to steal an envelope of cash, according to a criminal complaint. …
She apparently checked her purse several minutes after going through security, found the missing money, and … [w]hen the woman returned to the C-1 checkpoint to complain, Ray allegedly left his post and quickly left the area.
When Ray returned to the checkpoint, he allegedly saw the woman there and then went to the Lost and Found office to turn in the envelope, the feds alleged. …
In screening more than 2 million passengers a day nationwide, the TSA's Ann Davis told us 23 security officers have been "removed/terminated for theft from the check point or checked baggage" since the beginning of 2007.
