TSA Caught Stealing Cash From Passengers
Published 1 years ago
The Miami-Dade Attorney's Office released footage of TSA officers in the Miami International Airport stealing cash from passengers during security screenings. The thefts were recorded by the TSA's own cameras.
Josue Gonzalez and Labarrius Williams were arrested in July, and documents from the investigation describe the Federal employees using the screening process to distract passengers so they could steal hundreds of dollars in cash.
Gonzalez reportedly weaseled out of prosecution as he qualified for a deferment program that allows him to take a class. Williams has a court date set for October.
By the fluidity demonstrated in their recorded thievery, this likely wasn't their first time stealing from passengers. TSA hasn't even fired either employee yet, but has removed the men from screening duties pending the completion of the investigation.
