If you read the article, it says that he was discovered because another TSA employee turned him in and an investigation was launched. He was fired before the case made it through the legal system.

I am certainly not saying that TSA is perfect, because I believe that we definitely need to improve. However every successful theft against a TSA employee to which I have personal knowledge had another TSA employee assisting the investigation. By far most of the people who work in TSA hate the idea that thieves work alongside of us, and they are willing to help stop those thieves whenever possible.
