A Transportation Security Administration supervisor has been arrested for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars in cash from passengers going through an airport checkpoint.
As passengers -- mostly foreigners heading home -- came through the checkpoint at New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport, the supervisor and another TSA agent would subject them to secondary searches and allegedly take cash from their carry-on bags.
The supervisor, Michael Arato, 41, of Ewing, N.J., was changed with one count of accepting bribes, one count of conspiring to commit theft and three counts of theft by a government employee. The other TSA worker is now cooperating with authorities and has not been named in court records.

FWIW, I only hit the post key once for the above two posts.
It's not your fault....FReep still has lots of bugs; I'll know progress is being made when the posting-time clock isn't ten minutes fast.

I’ve had a number of odd items stolen before out of my bags. The last one was really strange. The under wire to my wife’s bra was removed and taken. What the heck is up with with that??

About items out of your bags ... I had someone else’s make up put INTO my bag.
Good stuff, too, but it was used by who knows what so I threw it out.
It was so bizarre.

They probably dropped a couple of bags in the baggage area while they were open and couldn't figure out what went where so they guessed

My pleasure. I hope this a-hole gets more than a slap on the wrist.

Sounds like the thief will keep his job. And what do you know, a supervisory position just opened up...
