TSA agent helped himself to a $47,900 camera (and more!)

So they caught one TSA thief because he made a stupid mistake. What about the others that aren't making mistakes and also steal from passengers?

TSA's rules are designed to make you vulnerable to theft.
Take the rule regarding liquids being limited to no more than 3 ounces. I defy anyone to shop for travel size lotions, creams and liquids that come in 3 ounce bottles.
Almost every one of these "travel size" liquids are 3.5 ounces. How many of these confiscated items end up going home in the pockets of the TSA agents?

I wouldn't be nearly so anti-TSA if it were not for the many times I see screeners sitting at their monitor but directing there full attention to a buddy instead of what goes thru the machine.

speaking about the sizes of bottles you can take on for liquids.. I had a friend who bought a small bottle of Victoria Secret lotion for a trip she was going on..the TSA took the lotion away from her because it was .5 over the limit and proceded to hand it to a lady TSA who then placed it in her pocket. My friend became so enraged at this that she demanded her lotion back, she told them that she wasn't giving the lotion that she PAID for that wasn't even used to some random person, if she couldn't have it then she wanted to throw it away herself. The TSA gave her back the lotion and pointed to a trash can and said here throw it away..my friend took it opened it up, poured it out and said there she can have it now. TAKE THAT!
