I don't think you're clear on what bail is. It is not the same as paying a fine; it is money you put up when you promise to appear in court at a later date; if you don't show, you forfeit the money. The $200 figure probably means that some judge found her to be a very very unlikely flight risk (har), which probably makes sense given the crime.

With $235 stolen, she's most likely facing charges of petty larceny, though being TSA it's possible that a prosecutor could tack on "under color of authority," or something similar. Me, I hope she at least serves some jail time and sees a stiff fine. All this pretend security stuff is bad enough; the people employed in the charade should be well and clearly on notice that abuse of their power will be punished harshly.
