TSA agent at DFW Airport steals passengers $700 in cash

[juiceweezl]

I fly a lot, and people think I'm crazy because I refuse to let my wallet go through the x-ray in a plastic tub and leave my sight. The agent on the other side of the scanner asks to inspect it, but they do it right in front of me. I think the majority of TSA people have no clue what they're doing.

Where exactly did your dad "save" it? Was he a war prisoner at the time? Just curious.

I'd venture a guess to say he saved the money for it. This isn't a movie where Christopher Walken hid it in his ass.

TSA could be reduced to save on budget and the hassles they make us endure. I simply do not feel like they are effective and cause more problems than they resolve.

I didnt come from money...I am the first college graduate and doctor in my family. I am sure he just had a little bit taken out of his paycheck for 3-4yrs while I was in medical school to be able to buy it for me when I graduated.

Not sure how you got the "war prisoner" thing from what I posted.

I wonder if i can check-in a locked gun case with my important valuables in it. Maybe put a cheap pocket pistol in it as well. Would that work?

“He hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then, when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.” – Pulp Fiction

I guess I did not get it...and making a joke about my dad isnt cool...especially since you do not know me.

I get it now...still not cool.

It was just a joke. Sorry I offended you.

The whole situation reminds me of a law I remember from somewhere that reads something like "if you are person of authority and you abuse your power for your own personal gain...etc"

Are people in their position not persecuted as vigorously as any ordinary thief? And because of their position, are they not held to a higher standard than an ordinary thief? You would think that at least if they decide to steal, they are not going to get probation or another job of authority again where as an ordinary "civilian" thief might cause you worries.

Just something that came to mind while reading the article...

Yup. And the locked gun case can have non-TSA accessible locks. Just be sure to declare a firearm when you check in.

Dave offends most he doesn't know, so it's quite alright...

<-- not surprised, TSA are below Democrats

You lie.

LoL...put my $10k Rolex that my dad saved for 4yrs when I was in medical school to get me for graduation. I never wore it but decided to take it with me when I went to Florida house shopping...like a dumbass, I put it in my checked luggage thinking it would be safe. NOT! TSA stole it.

Scumbags.
