It’s been a long while since I wrote about anything involving the TSA but I managed to catch wind of an interesting little thing going on at a local (to me) airport.

Evidently 9 people were involved in a theft ring where employee parking passes were being stolen and re-sold at DFW airport.  These passes allowed people to use airport parking a great deal more economically, if you know what I mean.

What does this have to do with the TSA?

8 of those 9 people worked for the TSA.

Am I shocked?  No.  We have real world concerns about security in airports regarding legitimate threats to people.  There are real and tangible security threats that exist and are even focused on the US.

What’s our answer?  The TSA:  Our front line security against these threats.

At least when they’re not stealing from co-workers cars.
