My father traveled to see us and his grandkids two years ago at Christmas, and had cash for them in his carry on bag. Not only was that missing, but presents he brought in his checked bag were missing as well.

We followed up with TSA and it went nowhere. He was devasated, and blamed himself. He thought he let his grandchildren down.

The TSA is a useless agency. It is Kabuki Theater "security." It is a Makework McJobs program for Democrats.

Your bottle of water might be a bomb. Please place it in this trash can next to 500 people crowded together in line.

“The TSA is a useless agency”

That’s the understatement of the year, SkyPilot.

Nothing new here. A co-worker while passing through security in Jackson MS. had his money clip stole out of the tub with the camera show it was there when it passed through. One of the TSA agents suddenly had to leave during the event. Nothing was ever done about it.

Years back, I remember Laura Ingram talking about the Tools standing Around stealing a gold crucifix from her checked luggage that was given to her by Pope John Paul. I try not to put anything valuable in my checked baggage but it’s hard to not travel with cash, laptop, camera, etc.

There was a note from TSA stating that my luggage was selected at random for screening and they selected my camera, GPS and anything of value.

You can't trust government employees in any third world banana republic.

THIS is why we are driving on vacation this year. Flying is run by the Too Stupid for Arbys crowd.

“TSA has a zero tolerance for misconduct in the workplace”.
It sure is mighty nice of them not to condone theft by employees. I feel safer now.

Don’t steal the government hates the competition. Oh wait he is part of the government. He will likely be promoted then.

Solved this problem myself.

Haven’t been on a plane in over five years and never intend to get on one again.

I won’t be treated like sh!t by anyone, including g’ment employees. I won’t be forced to expose myself to other’s germs and who knows what.

Just takes an extra day or two. Eat my own food. Worry about my own security, drive along at my own schedule and listen to Rush.

Not a bad way to travel.

The worst part is, if they steal, and even risk jail for a few bills, it shows their moral aptitude is missing and in their position, can be frightfully compromised.

I can image an instance where an ISIS or Al Qaeda drone offers them $100,000 to put something IN a bag.

Something that ticks.

Boom. Flight disappears.

The TSA in Memphis and Jackson, Mississippi, is nothing but an agency to funnel affirmative action employees that can’t work anywhere else into a job that allows them to continue the life they’ve been living.

We recently traveled by air from NJ to Phoenix. My family got pissed at me because I groused about the near useless security measures we endure. I was X-rayed and frisked, and not happy about it. My family said, “oh but this is to keep us safe.” I then proceeded to tell them about the fake bombs and weapons that have gotten through this great system. Did no good, they were still annoyed with me. Lol.
