I just flew into DTW North terminal, and walked past an agent near the (deserted, maybe closed as it was almost 10 PM) checkpoint who was on her phone. I overheard one line of the conversation, but it was a doozy: “I can’t wait for December 15. All dispensaries will close so the price of my .... will go up” Just to make sure I heard correctly, I did a quick Google and she’s referencing the fact that marijuana dispensaries in Michigan will indeed be forced to close on December 15. So the conversation seems to imply that she has a side hustle of selling weed.

Now, my opinion on it weed is, I don’t care. It’s not my thing, but smoke it, grow it, sell it, I don’t care. I am all for legalizing it. I don’t hold it against anyone, and if I were an employer, I wouldn’t care if my employees used or sold it, as long as we aren’t dealing with heavy machinery and they don’t come to work high. That being said, I also expect that the people hired by the federal government to supposedly keep air travelers safe shouldn’t be committing felonies, even if I disagree with it being a crime in the first place. I also believe that someone dumb enough to take that call out in the open, as an entire 737 load of passengers walks past, rather than in private maybe should not be in charge of our safety and security. Granted, selling weed is probably one of the better crimes a TSA agent is guilty of, and if we could see the rap sheets for all the agents, I doubt any of us would ever fly again.

I am not sure if I should let it go, or actually report it to anyone, or who I would report it to. I realize I have no proof this conversation took place, and no names (although a physical description should be good enough to identify the employee since it was late and there weren’t a lot of staff on duty at the time). So I am turning to the good people of FlyerTalk: If you were me, what would you do?
