TSA has a zero tolerance for misconduct in the workplace

Ah, the TSA. Fine upstanding folks. Highly skilled/educated, etc.

Certainly, THIS is an uncommon, isolated incident.

TSA agent caught stealing cash from luggage at Orlando International Airport, cops say - Orlando Sentinel

TSA agent caught stealing cash from luggage at Orlando International Airport, cops say.





A Transportation Security Administration employee was arrested Thursday after he was caught on video stealing cash from a bag going through screening at Orlando International Airport, Orlando police say.

Alexander Shae Johnson, 22, who had been with TSA just a few months, was arrested on a charge of third-degree felony grand theft, records show.

A passenger was going through security when she was selected for a pat-down search and saw Johnson was standing near her bag.

Afterward, she went through her bag to make sure her cash was still there, but it was missing.

She noticed a bulge coming from Johnson’s shirt pocket that turned out to be money, according to a report.

Johnson said the cash was his, but the video said otherwise and he was arrested.

TSA, in a statement, said Johnson was fired.

“TSA has a zero tolerance for misconduct in the workplace,” said TSA spokeswoman Sari Koshetz. “The TSA immediately reported the allegation to OPD and we aggressively investigated the incident with our law enforcement partner.”

Johnson was taken to the Orange County Jail and has since been released on bail.

He could not immediately be reached for comment.

Released on bail? Well, he probably has a pretty hefty stash to draw from.

Had a chance at a career. Could have made something of himself. Nope, decided to blow it all on a handful of cash.

This is what happens when government tries to help. They turned this into a affirmative action programs VS National security.

They hate the idea that government is the problem, not the solution.

Believe me, I know first hand that if you absolutely need it screwed up, let the .gov run it. Hell, the postal service has had over 200 years to get it right, and can't.

Dude looks high as shit.

Did the police proceed to steal the money and buy themselves something nice? (excuse me... "seize")

[Craig]

I'm surprised he was fired.

The TSA's mission is supposed to keep planes from being hijacked or destroyed. How is someone going to bring down the plane with a wad of cash or some drugs?

Careful. It might have a few bodies on it by now.

You can take the boy out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the boy.

22 years old working for TSA that's like a dream come true for many nowadays. Getting fired, a felony, jail time, and I hope his name will be on the no-flight list...just because
