A TSA supervisor stole money from passengers who went through his security checkpoint and accepted bribes and kickbacks from a colleague.
Michael Arato, a supervisor at Newark Liberty Airport, admitted on Monday that he regularly took money from passengers during security screenings and deliberately targeted foreigners who could not speak much English.
The 41-year-old, from Ewing, admitted in federal court that he permitted a worker he supervised to steal $10,000 to $30,000 in cash from traveller's bags over a 13-month period.
So does anyone else think they should go through those scanners when they leave their shift? The TSA is going to have to earn the public trust if they are going to insist that we run through hoops and make it easy for them. Any business can hire a thief, it happens to the best of them. However, creating an abusable system is on them, and the failure to make the screening process more transparent (pun intended) will benefit everyone.
Then you agree with Republicans that these folks should be privatized and made accountable, and not unionized.
ReplyDeleteBecause every complaint you have about TSA is directly resulting from the fact they are another bloated government union collecting fat paychecks on the taxpayer dime.
You don't remember when airport security was private? If you're too young or forgetful, let me assure you it wasn't better.
ReplyDeleteRemember, the private sector are all saints who think nothing about nothing for themselves and joyfully serve their corporate masters and never steal anything or hurt anyone or do anything but suck corporate cock.
