The local news talked about LAX being the new king of thefts, but not from typical criminals. They are the people hired to keep us safe? TSA agents have been caught stealing jewelry, laptops, cameras and cash.

I did search and couldn't believe how widespread the problem seems to be.

Tonights local news:
TSA officer accused of theft from LAX traveler's bag - The Daily Breeze


TSA's blog... it's a problem that's been happening for decades. Mmmm, not like this:
The TSA Blog: The TSA, Our Officers, The Public and Theft

What about the ring of TSA agents smuggling drugs?
TSA Drug Ring Busted in NY - Another World Is Possible

More digging showed that over 500 TSA officers have been busted, so far. Using typical caught vs. not ratios, there could be thousands of these TSA thieves.

Reminds me of NOPD except with FED funding... so we're paying to be robbed

What do you expect...a GED and the ability to move your arms is all it takes to apply.
