TSA Agent Arrested After Allegedly Stealing Money From Disabled Person at Checkpoint

Leroy Ray, a Transportation Security Administration agent at Newark Airport, has been arrested in a particularly nasty alleged crime: stealing money from a handicapped person at a security checkpoint.

The woman passed through the security checkpoint and then checked her purse — only to find $400 missing on February 3, 2010. She had $300 in cash in a white envelope and $195 in a zippered pocket. When she complained, the TSA looked at the security tape and reportedly saw Ray snatch the money.

Notably, 23 security officers have been “removed/terminated for theft from the check point or checked baggage” since 2007. Ray, 45, is an eight-year veteran of the TSA.

    Is the TSA turning into the Mexican Border crossing? Pay to go?

    He should be incarcerated. For a long, long time.

    What to do if seated next to a jerk on an airplane…

    1. Take out your laptop.
    2. Slowly open your laptop.
    3. Turn it on.
    4. Make certain your neighbor is watching.
    5. Open your Internet browser.
    6. Close your eyes for a few moments, open them, and then look up to the
    sky, or the heavens, if you will.
    7. Breathe deeply and open the following site:

    eniobob,

    That appeals to my sick sense of humor. I’d probably end up on some sort of no-fly, no-life list.

    eniobob:

    that is excellent. But it probably wouldn’t be a good idea. an air marshal may put 2 rounds in your head.

    eniobob,

    And here I thought *I* was a shit disturber. Truly funny. A really bad idea in practice, but truly funny. :D

    Blousie: I read your post too quickly as I thought your sentence read that you would be put on a “no-life vest” list.
    :o )
