I'm not saying that theft by finding isn't bad, just that it's not quite as bad as normal theft. It is still pretty damn bad. Consider these options: Option 1: TSA agents steal things from your bags. Option 2: TSA agents steal things that you forget at the checkpoint. Both options suck, but option 2 doesn't suck quite as much. That's all I'm saying. I'm not defending the guy. It's just that the headline made me think #1 was the case, but it turned out to be #2, and #2 isn't quite as bad as #1. Of course, both are inexcusable, illegal, and wrong.

Well, here's an "Option 1" for you then ... "Pythias Brown, a former TSA officer at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey who admits he stole more than $800,000 worth of items from luggage and security checkpoints over a four-year period" $800,000!!! http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/convicted-tsa-officer-reveals-secrets-thefts-airports/story?id=17339513 http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/convicted-tsa-officer-reveals-... This was so ridiculously easy that the only way that he got caught is that he got VERY lazy, and didn't remove the CNN stickers from a camera he stole from a CNN producer's luggage. Others that worked with him seemed to know about it — one co-worker even warned him, "They were talking about you in the office. Be careful." But no one did anything. Absurd.
