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.'"
As always, the question comes down to, who will watch the watchers?

Such an obvious connection, high value gadgets likely(such as cameras, and to certain extent office capable computing/laptops) to be stolen are being integrated in single, small and slim smartphone devices so people with small rectal cavities can fit their neccesities up their ass when they go flying.
Just don't forget to swtich it to silent/vibration next time you go flying. You wouldn't want your plesant flight disturbed by silly ringtones.
Too early in the morning here. :)
