Holy national security, Batman! A nine-month investigation, known cryptically as "Operation Last Call," has resulted in the arrest of 18 JFK Airport employees, including three security guards, according to CNN.

The employees were apprehended Wednesday, after being accused of stealing "more than 100,000 mini-bottles of alcohol from LSG Sky chefs, which provides food and beverages for American Airlines," said the CNN report. Most of the accused were LSG employees.

The alcohol was allegedly sold on the underground market (Why is there an underground market for a legal substance? Just asking.) to local retailers, resulting in an estimated retail value of $750,000.

Now you know how to make those frequent flier miles really add up. Just don't say I told you so.
