NEW YORK (AP) — Police say a Transportation Security Administration agent stole $5,000 in cash from a passenger's jacket as he was going through security at John F. Kennedy International Airport, the latest in a string of thefts that has embarrassed the agency.


Alexandra Schmid took the cash from the jacket of a Bangladeshi passenger as it went along an X-ray conveyor belt at around 8 p.m. Wednesday, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's police force.


"In viewing the surveillance video, we observed her removing the currency from the victim's jacket pocket," Della Fave said.


The video showed Schmid wrapping the money in a plastic glove and taking it to a bathroom, he said.


The money hasn't been recovered, Della Fave said. Police are investigating whether Schmid gave it to another person in the bathroom.


The 31-year-old Schmid was arrested on a charge of grand larceny and suspended pending an investigation. Her attorney's name wasn't immediately known.

TSA = Thieves Serving America

I travel a lot. I have lost tools and all that goes with it. TSA opened my bag and then cut open a bag of 1000 zip ties and uncapped all my liquids.

Nothing you can do, especially if you lost electronics.

This is news why? The TSA and all majority of law enforcement "officers" are just the bottom-dwellers of society who sought a job to satisfy their hunger for power stemming from low self-esteem attributed to their status as a complete failure at life and a non-contributor to society.

Same goes for military recruits. What teenager or young adult with academic and professional prospects would join the military? For the noble cause of America's "War on Terrorism"? If the recruits had IQs over 12 they would know how ridiculous our undeclared war on an intangible object is and boycott the military, not volunteer to fight.

Why not just transfer the money via bank?

Why not carry cash? You shouldn't have to protect yourself against government goon squads. The TSA is a joke. It's a big circus used to instill fear in people, and get them to want greater government intrusion.
