News Shocker: TSA Employee Fails "Lost Wallet" Integrity Test
The people groping you and pawing through your belongings at the airport are not to be trusted, as so many news stories of them being arrested for everything from theft to pedophilia show.

Remember, the TSA checkpoint is a "security" puppet show -- there's no reason to spend money vetting TSA hires in any meaningful way, because it's all just to give us the illusion of security while providing the double duty as a jobs program for unskilled workers.

Mara Somio writes in the rather amusingly named Missouri University newspaper, The Maneater:

The Columbia Police Department and the Department of Homeland Security arrested a Transportation Security Administration employee at Columbia Regional Airport for failing a TSA test by not returning a lost wallet.

The individual failed the test to uphold integrity in the workplace and has since been fired from his position, TSA Regional Public Affairs Manager Carrie Harmon said in an emailed statement.

CPD spokesman Sergeant Joe Bernhard identified the employee as 32-year-old Eric Richard Dunlap of Jefferson City. Dunlap was arrested for felony stealing and given a $4,500 bond, Bernhard said.

...The TSA conducts the tests to monitor its employees' performance and make sure they are being accountable. Its statement said the tests are conducted regularly, though it did not specify whether or not the individuals undergoing the checks are targeted for a particular reason.

A TSA news release put out by Harmon on Friday affirmed that the individual, now identified as Dunlap, was not employed by the city of Columbia. Harmon said the occurrence of criminal conduct by TSA employees is rare and an unfortunate case.

"(It) does not reflect the dedication and professionalism of our workforce as a whole," Harmon said.

No, there are other TSA scumbags who have not been caught.
