TSA Employee Caught With $200K Worth of Stolen Property
The plane moves me or I move the plane? writes "After years of people complaining about their luggage locks being broken in the name of the Transportation Security Administration, and after countless properly-stowed utilities and tools had been scrutinized from a paranoid point of view, an employee of the TSA (which is part of the Department of Homeland Security) has been captured with evidence of over $200,000 worth of stolen property he was selling on eBay. With the help of local police and the USPS, a search of his house found a great deal of property pilfered from the un-witnessed searches that occurred after luggage had been checked, where the rightful owner was not allowed. 'Among the items seized were 66 cameras, 31 laptop computers, 20 cell phones, 17 sets of electronic games, 13 pieces of jewelry, 12 GPS devices, 11 MP3 players, eight camera lenses, six video cameras and two DVD players, the affidavit said.'"
And a partridge in a pear... TREEEEEEEEE!
I'd rather have someone respond than be modded up.
As well as any loose cash. I'm missing several million, so it may not all be there.
66 cameras, 31 laptop computers, 20 cell phones, 17 sets of electronic games, 13 pieces of jewelry, 12 GPS devices, 11 MP3 players, eight camera lenses, six video cameras and two DVD players
$200K? That can't be right. 11 MP3's are worth that much according to the RIAA.
But Ebay is great: A++++ seller, would buy from him again!
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
that there might be people who find this surprising.
You could just fedex it. Unless your time is worth less than like, $5 an hour.
Imagine all the photographs of naked children that could be taken with 66 cameras.
Imagine all the child porn that could be download/stored/viewed using 31 laptop computers.
Imagine all the phone calls paedophiles could make with 20 cell phones.
Imagine all the children that could be lured into a paedophiles house with 17 sets of electronic games, and 13 pieces of jewellery.
Imagine all the children that could be tracked with 12 GPS devices.
Imagine all the children that could be deafened by paedophiles letting children use 11 MP3 players at high volume.
Imagine the sick movies made and viewed using six video cameras and two DVD players.
And the eight camera lenses......dear God the eight camera lenses!!!
Cheer up. At least you don't get tased to death.
Once I was a four stone apology. Now I am two separate gorillas.
Because that would cost money. If they had to pay their employees a reasonable salary they'd have to pass the cost on to somebody. So rather than every passenger paying a couple dollars more a flight, they just lose stuff out of random bags.
It's a lottery style payment scheme.
How dare you criticize anything the administration does during any of the wars they fraudulently start.
If you criticize anything you're with the terrorists.
It's all being stolen for your security.
Most of that equipment could be used to access or record information that could undermine the current administration with stuff like facts.
You shove your laptop, camera and phone up your ass?
The Internet is generally stupid
Only A++++ and one exclamation mark? That's virtually a negative on eBay.

You can see up your ass?
66 cameras, 31 laptop computers, 20 cell phones, 17 sets of electronic games, 13 pieces of jewelry, 12 GPS devices, 11 MP3 players, eight camera lenses, six video cameras two DVD players and a partridge in a pear tree.
MISSING - Sig file. 2 years old black and white and very funny. If found please email me.
Soon, it is only going to be safe and easy to take whatever you can carry in your pockets or shove up your ass.
So you're saying that the watch my dad wore in Vietnam is the only thing safe when I'm traveling?
Calm down, it's still only October.
Then again maybe the TSA employee felt it was Christmas everyday. Hohoho.
FWIW, you can carry arbitrary sized bottles labeled saline solution for your contacts.
Note that they need only be labeled as saline solution, you can put whatever you want in them.
See this story where the guy brought two big bottles labeled saline solution and when the TSA gangsta asked him, "why two?" he said "one for each eye" and the gangsta let him pass.
When information is power, privacy is freedom.
Are you sure that isn't "Who is guarding the custards?"

That's easy. You just have to have your head up there.
There have been 0 completed acts of terrorism in the US since 2001
Fixed that for you. Don't think that 0 attacks on the news is for the terrorists' lack of trying.
You're also missing the fact that there hasn't been a single fatality from a Unicorn stabbing or a Dragon breath weapon attack on a US citizen since W was elected. You need to give the man the credit he's due.
Some glowing blue man and a guy who dresses up like Alexander the Great.
The partridge and the pear tree were both confiscated after being detected by sniffer dogs patrols operated by the Department of Agriculture. They are now being cared for at the local zoo. At this time the DoA would like to remind all air travellers not to bring in non-native species to any location they are travelling to.

The TSA has a clever scheme to keep out bad guys. First they give an IQ test and anyone smart enough to lie about being a terrorist is rejected. Then they ask, "Are you a terrorist?"
You can see up your ass?
It's always good to have hindsight !
May contain traces of nut.
Made from the freshest electrons.
Doesn't the TSA offer to do that for you? Maybe I just asked them too many questions...
66 cameras, 31 laptop computers, 20 cell phones, 17 sets of electronic games, 13 pieces of jewelry, 12 GPS devices, 11 MP3 players, eight camera lenses, six video cameras two DVD players, also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw either, and two dozen amyls.
This sig is false.
Violence != Terrorism.
9/11 changed everything, remember?
Fixed.
...because people are fucking sheep.
Let's hope they have OTHER hobbies as well...
because people are fucking sheep.
Eeeeeewww... I did not know that bestiality was rampant in the USA now.
No wonder all you people ignore what is going on, you to busy shagging sheep to notice.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
we could, but we *won't*..we won't throw these fucking tyrants out because, because people are fucking sheep.
The sheep asked for it.
And don't forget about the Boston Lite Brites. Goddamn, that incident scared the shit out of me.
