Steal 40 Grand, 6 Months jail (if you're TSA) |
2012-01-22 |
Two Transportation Security Administration officers who admitted stealing $40,000 from luggage at a New York City airport are going to jail. Surprise, surprise. The Queens district attorney's office says 44-year-old Coumar Persad and 31-year-old Davon Webb were sentenced Tuesday to six months in jail But 3 years in jail if you try to check a firearm you think you are legally carrying. How long a sentence if you steal $40 grand in the parking lot, and AREN'T in TSA? and five years' probation. Both had pleaded guilty to grand larceny, obstructing governmental administration and official misconduct. |

#7 Was it $40 grand in one theft, or in many? Was it cash, or goods? |

#6 If you are caught boarding a plane with $40 Grand you would automatically be assumed to be a drug dealer or mule - and the 40G confiscated for the next TSA party. |

#2 Who checks $40 grand in luggage??? I agree, Glenmore, they have more to fear than jail...and hope there was some follow up on the owner of the luggage. |

#1 Of course the 6 months may amount to a life sentence, since the people they stole the $40 grand from now know who they are. |
