Make it easy on yourselves- work for the government. Want your student loans forgiven?Work for the government. Want a job where you can’t be fired? Be a public employee. Want a better deal than the run-of-the-mill working stiff, supported by that working stiff? Work for the government.
I bet these two magpies get their jobs back.
“So the TSA agents had a scheme worked out to mark “interesting” bags for latter theft of contents. There are several interesting angles in this story beyond the theft of $40K. One is apparently the TSA does not bother with security cameras in its baggage handling area as these “professional agents” felt very comfortable in stuffing themselves with as much cash as they could fit. “
That is pretty strange, because about the only place in an airport where you won’t be on at least one video monitor is the toilet. For now.
In any place where valuables/money are involved, there have been TV camera/one-way glass installations FOR YEARS. I worked at a company where a subsidiary made fare boxes for buses/etc. They told me those rooms where the boxes were opened were set up that way because it had been proven that constant exposure to large amounts of money/valuables would cause even formerly dead honest people to steal.
Obviously, more funding is needed for more cameras, because everything we’ve done so far was done on the cheap.
“TSA guys used their Federal assigned responsibilities to do the crime...This should carry a multiplier effect - not a divider effect.”
Valid point. I won’t argue too hard for TSA, so I’m done.
Does anybody understand the simple words, “plea bargain” anymore. Does anyone know that most cases never actually get to the courts? The majority are always pleaded out. The guys that robbed a bank probably didn’t accept a plea bargain and thought they could do better with a jury. It is a darn good thing I am on this site because some of you don’t understand anything about the courts.
Never confuse The Law with Justice.
Cops confiscate Drugs, Guns and Money all the time. TSA are cops. Nothing to see here, move along.....
so is the IRS and Congress...
after serving 6mos I am sure they will get their jobs back:)
I googled “steeling $10,000.” and randomly came up with this the following for TN.
jail time for a theft offense. ... $1000-$10000, Class D felony (2-12 years in prison and up to $5000 in fines) ...
All the more reason to keep services out of the hands of the Goverment. At least there their is a better chance that the Goverment will render “justice” more impartially not having a stake in the matter.
PS: We really do need to get into the practice of going after all the Federal Goverment agents that either acted unlawfully on their own or carried out unlawful orders given by the previous administration.
Enforcement of the law starts with the agents who took the oath. We cannot afford to have any agent of a Constitutional Civil Goverment blindly “follow orders”.
My wife "had to have" a very expensive luggage set. I about gagged when I saw the price tag (over $200 per piece). I use my grandfather's green canvas WWII parachute bag. I travel a lot and my wife travels maybe twice a year. I have never had my bag messed with (I use a bread tie/tie that I braid in a manner that tells me if someone has opened it) and my wife gets her bag opened every other trip (once it looked like someone had dumped the contents and just stuffed it all back in).
I"m a firm believer in camouflage.
The last two time I flew I have had my suitcases damaged by the TSA. First time they took off the locks (TSA-certified). The second time they removed the zipper pulls that were locked (again with TSA-certified locks). I went out to their website and they essentially said they're not responsible. So the lesson here is don't lock your suitcase unless you want it to be ruined.
All but $20 was recovered according to the story.
NYPD must have had a heck of a party since it was drug money and the "owner" was killed.
No mention if the person (possible drug mule) “Declared the full Amount” as required by law.
When I traveled to Australia, and New Zealand, sign’s all over the place, citing the U.S., Australia, New Zealand law’s.
Never forget when I first saw Schumer when he became a Senator. Sleaze oozed from his pores. It was so obvious, he was pretty much a cartoon of what is wrong in Washington. Could not believe he got into the Senate and still am amazed he remains.
She may sit at the top of TSA but her overhang is stifling.
Incompetano is typical of the homosexuals and other assorted perverts with which Obozo stuffed his top posts.
How the voters of Arizona elected this elephantine butch their governor is another amazing act of stupendous stupidity!
