I used to work at an airport. It’s not just the tsa that steals, it’s the baggage handlers and even the airport police. Yes, even the cops do it. I watched a cop steal 10 bucks from some passenger in a rush. Never take anything on a trip you’re not willing to lose.

I remember when TSA agents were first being recruited, no real vetting of the agents.

Big shocker. The worst I’ve ever been treated by TSA was in Miami.

Imagine giving up such a high salary job for $600. Geez.

They most definitely will be fired. It sucks because passengers don’t differentiate individuals, now it’s “TSA” steals… and they all will be accused of being thieves due to a few individuals lack of integrity.

As a white man I would just like to state, that there have been white TSA agents also arrested for the same thing! So I don't wanna hear anyone out there in the comments spouting anything stupid like, of course they were black. The two gentlemen in this news story just happened to be black, that's all! Let's keep it 100 people!

TSA agents were getting away with this too long. If they were caught doing this now, it's obvious they had been practicing this for awhile. Fire the supervisor also.

In every job industry there are bad apples but these two got caught at least

[ZBruh]

Oh wow, he’s black. Color me surprised.

When I saw the white arm in the thumbnail I was wondering. But the thiefs were black with one of them having a fair complexion. So...nothing unusual here to see, hm, folks? I just wouldn't have hired them in the first place.

Labarius Williams? I think they mean Nefarious Williams. 😂

Always remove the cash from your wallets before putting them into the bin for the conveyor belt

[jonjohnson]

This is what happens when you hire based on race, rather than qualifications.

[ttyngordon]

They all do it. These two are just the only ones that got caught

Not cool glad I don't have the need to go anywhere

Right after September 11 my friend and I went on vacation and someone from the airport that searched my baggage took my jewelry and wasn't real from my luggage. 😆 You think that's bad, housekeepers will steal stuff out from your hotel rooms, small stuff they think you wouldn't notice, or prescription drugs. One housekeeper told me he didn't know he was being recorded and was caught taking a guest's prescription drugs and then selling them in the small town where he's from. What an idiot. Why risk your job like that? I hear employers don't hire if you have theft or assault on your record. Sometimes even the staff would be in on it too like a theft ring. Get a spare phone or some recording device and hide it to always watch your belongings. You can't trust anyone with your stuff.

TSA should refrain from employing the minority

Damn Jamie G. I guess you showed that shirt who's boss. Yikes. 💪💪👏👏👏

I hate when they take my expensive toiletries, claiming they are 4ozs! I thought 4ozs was the standard?
