A " worker "? Or:
a Federal Security Officer / Inspector / Agent ?
Unbelievable. You couldn't "pay" scriptwriters to think these things up that are going on 'live' right before our eyes. I'm thankful he wasn't a Muslim . Dajjal is definitely at large.

Who are they hiring & what are they paying these people? Let's learn some lessons from the Israelis how they conduct their security operations. We cannot afford another major security breach.

This is an all too common problem to be ignored. Although it is a small percentage of their workforce, doesn’t TSA and DHS justify their tactics by saying they cannot risk, not submitting, the entire flying public, to invasive procedures, because the small risk of a small number of terrorists is too great? Many companies screen all employees departing work, as part of their inventory theft control program. Perhaps it is time to consider that for DHS/TSA personnel. After all, isn’t their mantra something like the (perceived) benefit supersedes any personal inconvenience? Does anyone see a potential, that these thieves could be bribed or blackmailed into putting something into luggage, rather than take something out?

I believe that they should be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole!!! Maybe that would discourage the willful theft of the flying public's personal effects...

Start cutting off people's hands ( or really just TSA's hands) when they steal stuff, hell there'd be so many of em that everytime you wave at them going through security they would only be able to nod back.

Dosent surprise me. All we did was convert the hourly, high school educated person to a frontline high paid worker. This is a representation of the ("our") US government. This job should be a military role. They need to start screening the work force as they come into and leave the work area.
The other side of the coin, why was this stuff in checked baggage?

REGISTERED MAIL! WITH INSURANCE! OR WEAR IT! It's cheaper than finding it on EBAY.

The maximum jail counts yield 23 years. Make it hard time and no parole.

Calling these overpaid, arrogant, rude, useless drones "workers" does violence to the meaning of the word. I agree w/ Suz, 23 years is too short.

If he's convicted, will he get the enhanced patdown?

That’s what it takes to get ahead now lately, if they had a degree and a job on Wall Street they would have gotten a bonus for a job well done to go with that new watch.
