Off-Duty Police Officer Steals iPad From TSA Checkpoint
SpaceCadetTrav writes "A recent arrest report shows that an off-duty police officer from Fullerton, CA was arrested on felony grand theft charges for stealing an iPad at a TSA checkpoint in the Miami International Airport. The theft was captured on video surveillance last month and the officer was tracked down just before boarding her plane."
Who takes a bag of chicken to the airport?
she might have had a reason to think that particular iPad had valuable data on it
Are you kidding? Show me a single iPad that contains "valuable data."
Cops vs Smurfs. Whoever loses, we win.
On one hand, the only reason she was arrested is because TSOs aren't law enforcement officers. The blue wall of silence (standard practice whereby so-called "good cops" cover up for the misdeeds of bad cops) doesn't apply.
On the other hand, part of me thinks the TSA just hates competition.
On balance, good job, TSA. You've caught your first criminal in what, a decade? Congrats. Totally not worth the expense and hassle, but congrats anyways on doing the right thing.
