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.

Criminal Number 18F
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.
