I used to maintain a blog of arrests of TSA officers and baggage handlers. At its peak, there were on average 2 arrests/week for stealing from passengers. It’s actually gotten better (less theft) over the past few years. I no longer keep the blog, but it’s down to about 1 a month.
I think the TSA has made us less safe. If there are so many people desperate for money, what’s stopping them from accepting a payment to get something through?

- flangola7 3y agoLarge orgs are always the biggest thieves. Look at scale of wage violations vs robberies.

- verve_rat 3y agoDid it get better? Was there less theft, or just fewer arrests?
