TSA agent caught running a drug business on the side
Look, we all know the economy is a little sour at the moment, so what do creative people do? They try and make a little extra cash on the side!That is what entrepreneur Timothy Monroe did when his job as a TSA checkpoint agent didn't pay enough.
So, Mr. Monroe picked a second job in a pretty stable kind of market - selling drugs.
During the daytime, Mr. Monroe protected our airports from deadly water bottles and nail clippers, and at night, he sold cocaine and marijuana to his customers.
Apparently this is against the law, because officers obtained a high-risk search warrant and raided his house.
In it, they found all the tools of his trade - guns, ammo, cash, cocaine and marijuana. A TSA spokesperson said they were "aware" of the allegations, and will take appropriate action.

BULLSH-T!!!! IS WHAT I SAY TO WOMEN WHO WHINE, ITS MY BRA!!!
UNLESS YOU ARE WEARING A BRA THAT LOOKS LIKE MADONNA'S AND THE CUPS, NOT THE WIRES ARE MADE OUT OF METAL. YOUR SLEAZY BRA WILL NOT SET OFF THE WALK THROUGH METAL DETECTOR.
HOWEVER, THE WIRE IN YOUR BRA WILL SET OFF THE HAND HELD METAL DETECTOR ON YOU BRA BECAUSE IT IS LESS THEN TWO INCHES FROM IT. PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID. THE WOMEN THAT COMPLAIN THE LOUDEST ABOUT THIER BRAS AND BEING PATTED DOWN. ARE THE ONES THAT LIKE IT.

If I were a woman I would understand the need for security at our airports. Wearing bras with a lot metal is going to increase the chance of a delay. Unless these gals enjoy the attention, they should wear clothes that are more suitable for homeland security. If not just grin and bare it.

The TSA is a bunch of BS!! Not much different from the so called "G-Men" of the prohibition/depression era. I have had a jar of my grandfather's home made jam confiscated as well as nail clippers and cuticle scissors. C'mon! Cuticle Scissors? WTF am I gonna do w/a pair of Cuticle Scissors?!?!?

As a woman who wears underwire bra's, i have had the displeasure of setting off plenty of standard walk through metal detectors. It all depends on the sensitivity level of the metal detector. Check your facts next time.

Thank God I left the airline industry in 2003. I don't miss it at all. It had been a pleasure to work for the airlines, until 9/11, and then it actually became a JOB!

Firstly, Friendly screener has it right, it's not your bra that alarms the walk through. It's the total accumulation of metal on you. Hair pins, peircings, cheap jewellry, belt buckles and anything else you've got in your pockets. Secondly, nobody took your nail clippers and cuticle scissors unless it was in the first year after 9 - 11. A lot of us working there are victims of the economy. Displaced through down-sizing. If this organization was under my control, ALL of the upper management (Washington) would be replaced with people with brains. TSA should be under the auspices of the Department of Defence. We have the technology to discern harmful liquids and gels from jams, toothpaste and shaving cream. Start using it! Stop using the lowest bidder to supply the workforce with 2nd rate equipment that constantly breaks down. Fire all of the officers that are using the TSA like it's a step up from welfare. Give the jobs to the returning service people. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM - STOP WITH ALL OF THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. Search the people that need to be searched and stop messing with the rest.
