This little item brought back a few unpleasant memories:
Three Transportation Security Administration officers were arrested at Miami International Airport for allegedly stealing from passengers during security screenings.
Arrest affidavits show that 22-year-old Elizabeth Fuster, 33-year-old Labarrius Williams and 20-year-old Josue Gonzalez were all arrested Thursday on charges of organized schemes to defraud.
According to the affidavits, the airport federal security director for law enforcement at MIA contacted a Miami-Dade Police detective regarding thefts that occurred at Checkpoint E involving TSA officers. The investigation revealed that three officers, while on duty, were seen on surveillance video conspiring together to distract passengers as they were being screened and stole money from their belongings.
This has happened to me too, only it wasn’t at Miami but at Jan Smuts O.R. Tambo Airport in Johannesburg, at the end of my last [sic] visit to my hometown. After unloading my pockets to go through the security cameras, I was (very politely) asked to open my carry-on bag for “extra” security checking. I did all that, then redressed (shoes, belt etc.) and went off to get some coffee before takeoff…
…only to discover at the coffee bar that all the cash had been stripped from my wallet — about $200, £250, R300 and €50 all told. Nothing to be done, of course — cash is untraceable, so I had no proof that I’d arrived with any cash in my wallet.
Plus, this was Johannesburg so what else could I expect? South Africa wins again. Bastards.

(10) Thus, while always attentive to the particular qualities of individuals, on the many occasions where you have nothing to guide you but knowledge of those mean differences, use statistical common sense:
(10a) Avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally.
(10b) Stay out of heavily black neighborhoods.
(10c) If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date (neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot).
(10d) Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.
(10e) If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.
(10f) Do not settle in a district or municipality run by black politicians.
(10g) Before voting for a black politician, scrutinize his/her character much more carefully than you would a white.
(10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.
(10i) If accosted by a strange black in the street, smile and say something polite but keep moving.
The New York Post has pictures. Two Negroes and what is almost certainly a mudshark. https://nypost.com/2023/07/12/tsa-workers-busted-for-theft-reveals-vulnerabilities-experts/
I had to look up “mudshark”. So, mudshark == Kardashian. Thank-you for enhancing my vocabulary.
TSA since its inception has been nothing more than a make work program for oxygen thieves who couldn’t finish high school despite its dumbed down policies and bureaucrats who left other branches of the government bureaucracy. TSA is ineffective at anything other than creating annoyed at best and pissed off drunk travelers.
