TSA officer pleads guilty to stealing from passengers
2011-02-25
Officer Al Raimi, 29, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Newark. He admitted that for nearly a year, he stole between $10,000 and $30,000 in cash from travelers as they passed through a security checkpoint at the airport.

Raimi admitted that he would "kick up" some of that money to a supervisor, who in turn allowed him to keep stealing.

Raimi was secretly recorded stealing about $5,000 from a female traveler's handbag.

Arato was recorded stating that he didn't feel bad stealing from foreigners because they were "leaving this county with our money."
Gee, then maybe he should give the money to the Federal Treasury to help lower all of our tax burdens for all of us, or did he decide to selfishly spend it on himself?

#2  TSA always instruct me to put my wallet along with my belt, shoes and all in the tray for the xray machine, and I ignore them every time.
