A TSA agent convicted of stealing more than $800,000 worth of goods from travelers said this type of theft is “commonplace” among airport security. Almost 400 TSA officers have been fired for stealing from passengers since 2003.
Pythias Brown, a former Transportation Security Administration officer at Newark Liberty International Airport, spent four years stealing everything he could from luggage and security checkpoints, including clothing, laptops, cameras, Nintendo Wiis, video games and cash.
Speaking publicly for the first time after being released after three years in prison, Brown told ABC News that he used the X-ray scanners to locate the most valuable items to snatch.
“I could tell whether it was cameras or laptops or portable cameras or whatever kind of electronic was in the bag,” he said.
Brown often worked alone, screening luggage behind the ticket counters. He was frequently told the overhead surveillance cameras, installed to prevent theft, were not working. Full story...

TSA is nothing more than a very large part of the government's plan to cower the American people so that they may exert more control. The TSA is a major mind f**k, and we blithely put up with it, sacrificing our dignity for a bit of security. Meanwhile, guns and other weapons continuously make it through TSA checkpoints, while they grope mastectomy patients and children in the name of security. The TSA is an outrage!
