At least two Transportation Security Administration officers at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport have been arrested in a police sting operation involving stolen parking passes and dozens of others could be in trouble, NBC 5 has learned.
Sources familiar with the probe said it started several months ago with an undercover investigation by the airport's Department of Public Safety.
Investigators found an American Airlines worker had stolen 100 parking passes for employee parking lots and recruited TSA officers to sell the passes to co-workers for $100 apiece, the sources said.
One person who was aware of the investigation said as many as 20 TSA officers are suspected of selling or buying the passes. Another person said the number was closer to 40. It was not immediately clear whether or not the airline employee also had been arrested.
TSA spokeswoman Carrie Harmon referred questions to airport officials.
DFW Airport spokesman David Magana declined to comment on the investigation or confirm any arrests.
TSA officers at DFW Airport -- even part-time -- are required to pay $102 every quarter to park in two employee parking lots. The stolen airline parking allegedly sold for $100 allowed employees to park for one year. :)

When I was a TSA sup @ BLI, parking was one of the perks.
And to think I gave that up for a job with real respect: cleaning the bus station urinals with a toothbrush
[CNN] - Vice President Joe Biden made it clear Friday how he feels about departing Homeland Security Secretary Big Sis.
"I think Big Sis should be on the Supreme Court of the United States," he said Friday morning at her coming out going away ceremony. His statement was met with raucous applause by those attending, including current and former cabinet secretaries, law enforcement officials, and Attorney General Eric 'My people' Holder.
Big Sis announced in June she would leave her current position this month. She's now preparing to start her next gig as president of the University of California system.
Just in time for the bubble to pop. May God watch over them all, because Ms Janet Napolitano most certainly won't.
As President Champ was choosing Supreme Court nominees in 2009 and 2010, Big Sis' name was floated as a potential contender to replace retiring Justice David Souter and Justice John Paul Stevens. He ultimately tapped Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, respectively, for the nominations.
Sis, 55, has a law degree but has never been a judge. Job experience is not an issue with the regime.
A former Democratic governor of Arizona, Napolitano was also a onetime U.S. attorney and state attorney general.
While in private practice, she was a lawyer for Anita Hill when she testified in the 1991 Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings for the high court.
During her tenure as homeland security secretary, she was criticized strongly for her department's initial response - and her public statements - to the Christmas 2009 attempted terror bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 80, is the current court member most frequently mentioned as the next to step down, but she has voiced her intention to stay on as long as possible.
"The truth of the matter is he's been beaten up now for two months nonstop. When he does something for the future, it will be fair of him to say 'asked and unanswered'" when reporters ask him about his personal life, said Brandt, who is also a longtime supporter of Bill and Hillary Clinton."
