I just ran across this posting and started thinking. It appears that a majority of the thefts occurred from items being held in the TSA/LAX lost and found; the people being charged are screeners, lead screeners, screening supervisors and a screening manager all of whom worked with the then Primary Screening Manager for terminal six at LAX. As a group these people established the lost and found system that was in place at LAX and so easily abused. I was wondering if anyone has bothered to look into the possible connection to the Primary Screening Manager who is now an Assistant Federal Security Director at Houston’s airport? This is an individual who had the ability to lie anytime he spoke and I never did trust him.

My daughter lost her luggage at LAX three weeks ago.

It turned out her bags were offloaded at Detroit during a stopover. Her bags were delivered the next morning. She didn’t report anything missing.

If she finds out about this, she’s going to ask me to buy her a whole bunch of new stuff.
