The recent arrest of three Transportation Security Administration officers reveals critical safety vulnerabilities at America’s airports, experts told The Post.

TSA officers Elizabeth Fuster, Labarrius Williams and Josue Gonzalez are facing felony charges of organized scheme to defraud following Thursday’s bust at Miami International Airport.

Surveillance video from checkpoint E caught the trio conspiring to “distract passengers as they were being screened,” to steal cash from bags, according to arrest affidavits obtained by The Post.

Fuster, 22, and Gonzalez, 20, confessed to “numerous thefts” from travelers, admitting to stealing an average of $1,000 daily while working together. Williams refused to speak to investigators, Miami-Dade police said.

2018 I was flying to Atlanta. In the TSA line me and three other woman were randomly picked for a search. All three of the ladies freaked out. I never forgot that.

TSA has 60,000 employees

And they are just one bloated, Fed.gov, post 9/11 agency.

All are employees for life, with guaranteed income and benefits paid for by massive Fed.gov debt.

And people wonder why there is a labor shortage in everything from restaurants to auto-repair to submarine maintenance.

The TSA is useless and nothing but a control of the people, just like the masks and lockdown were. While you are literally being strip searched like a convict at the front door, illegal aliens works the airplanes, ramps, and all the supposed secured areas. It would be nothing for a bomb to get placed on an airplane. Easier than buying pot in a High School.

Before checking a bag on a recent flight, I asked the airline agent if it was OK to use a small lock for security, showed the agent the lock and was assured it was.

When I retrieved the bag later the lock was still secure but had been punched in, making it impossible to open using the key. Easy to remedy since I was visiting relatives, but what a petty thing to do by TSA.

If you didn’t know you were in the USA you would thing you had landed in Mogadishu. TSA is a horrible agency that hires the worst of the worst “diversity” hires. If you don’t keep an eye on your belongings they will vanish. ESPECIALLY expensive watches. I had an Omega vanish and when I called out the agents he said, “we had to run extra tests.” Filthy thieves.
