Two TSA agents were busted today at Kennedy Airport for stealing $160,000 in cash from bags, authorities said.
Davon Webb, 30, and Couman Perad, who turned 36 today, were arrested after admitting they had regularly stolen from checked bags, sources said.
In one instance, Perad, who joined the Transportation Security Administration in 2002, and Webb, who has been an agent since 2004, stole $39,000 on Jan. 30 from a bag at Terminal 8, sources said.
The passenger whose money was stolen was on his way to Argentina, sources said.
The $39,000 was later found in their homes after TSA notified Port Authority police, sources said.

Isn’t that what government employees do? Steal money from the rest of us?
TSA = Two Stealing Around.
The job sucks but the perks are great.
...when we don't get our cut."
If they were allowed to join a union, this wouldn’t have happened.
TSA = Two Stealing ALOT.
Have you flown lately and taken a look at who is holding the wands, patting you down, going through your carry on?
Take these folks out of their TSA Uniforms and put them in street clothes — hmmmmmmmmm, what do you think?
What's the point of that? "Oh, it's his birthday!, well, we'll let this slide then"
how about, "happy birthday!, here's a nice shiny pair of bracelets for ya!"
It seems like a lot of thieving goes on with TSA agents.
This is what you get when you staff an armed Federal Agency from the welfare rolls and the refuse off the streets.
If the TSA isn’t getting its jollies from groping people then they are pilfering baggage. And, now they want a union. Aren’t they crooked enough already?
Ahh... no. I haven't. And I don't plan to, either. I web-conference. And enjoy the view from my deck.
Very, very unusual for any kind of prosecution to over thefts from airline baggage. If you’re traveling, if you have to check bags, nothing of any value can be placed in them. Should you find something missing you’ll get zero cooperation from the airlines.
“Davon Webb, 30, and Couman Perad, who turned 36 today”
...I guess the a$$wipe that wrote the article felt it necessary to point out the thiefs b-day. To garner sympathy? Heeey Couman! It’s your birthday! You can go. Just don’t do it again!
Two Stealing Agents/A$$es
They will probably get 2 weeks off with pay as punishment.
Let’s see the faces of these upstanding aspiring union employees.
At least they told us they were Amish. :)
Yes, unless it was a set-up (which it doesn’t sound like it), I am surprised the passenger didn’t get arrested for trying to take that much cash with him. (Who would be that stupid to check any cash? I am scared to death of them stealing valuables/cash from my carry-on while I go through security; I wouldn’t dare check it. I am just worried about them stealing my underwear and sweaters!)
