Caught stealing red handed and only administrative leave? In the private sector she'd be fired on the spot.

The Transportation Safety Administration employs the screeners. A spokeswoman says there have been cases of theft before, around the country. She says they have zero tolerance for theft. The screener in question has been put on administrative leave.
Zero tolerance, gubmint style. "Thank" you, RATs and RINOs for saddling the TSA with the gubmint union.
Question; could she be brought up on federal charges? If not, then she picked both the right employer and the right county because we have a charge-nobody DA both outgoing and incoming (regardless of who wins the election). If so, however, there's a bulldog of a US Attorney just licking his chops.

TSA does not normally prosecute these criminals. They say it is because of security, but really, they bust an average of two a week somewhere, and they don't want the publicity, so they let them go.
Be very, very wary if a former TSA employee comes to you for a job, as TSA does not even give negative recommendations for these thieves.

She'll probably say she's has a drinking problem. They'll send her to rehab for a few weeks, paid, then assign her to a different airport.
Simple.

Is this the case where the co-worker knew the TSA screener was stealing, yet kept his mouth shut until the thief was caught red handed?

"Deprivation of rights under color of law" - federal felony. Then she chose poorly on her venue. US Attorney for Eastern Wisconsin Steve Biskupic is a hang-em-all prosecutor; just ask several ex-Milwaukee aldermen, a former state Senator and in about a year, our current governor, Jim "Craps" Doyle (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale).

Caught stealing red handed and only administrative leave? In the private sector she'd be fired on the spot.It's a union job. It will take years of documentation of that kind of misbehavior to dislodge her from the position.

Caught stealing red handed and only administrative leave? In the private sector she'd be fired on the spot. Not at any large company. Large companies like the government has policies and procedures in place to make sure the event is carefully documented and investigated so that when they fire the person they won't end up getting sued.
Even in what appears to be an obvious case of getting caught red handed, the victim might decide that it isn't worth pressing charges over $20 if it means they might have to return to testify. The thief may have a history with the other TSA employee that tipped off authorities about the money hidden in the magazine rack.
Therefore the suspected thief gets sent home while the situation is investigated throughly, and statements are taken. If the evidence is there the authorities will file charges, and then it's safe and easy for the employer to fire the thief.
Juries are unfortunately too easily sold a conspiracy theory in a wrongful termination suit, and they have a tendency to rule in favor of the poor out of work individual that can't get a job because they were fired when it's a big business or the government that has to pick up the bill.

Putting a thief on administrative leave doesn't sound like zero tolerance to me.

Thank God for at-will employment states.

I had an odd thing happen, passing through Port security in Seattle, I have money clip on front pocket wallet. I had to take the money off and hand carry it through. Of course I beeped as I was wearing suspenders, the screener told me to open my hand and the money fluttered to the floor.
Don't move we will pick it up.
I only had about $38 in tens, fives, twos and ones.
