Here is a short quote of the article:
Another example of where a long-term city employee lost a job and benefits because of a poor decision occurred at the airport. There, a maintenance worker found a bag and evidence showed that instead of turning it in, she kept it.
Security video caught the theft by Aurora DeLeon. The bag included a laptop computer, iPod and two watches. DeLeon admitted pawning them for $190.

She and the others lost good jobs because of momentary weaknesses.
Momentary weaknesses?
She took the items, then pawned them. This certainly wasn't a "momentary" event.

I wonder if this bag was in the sterile area of the airport. For that matter, I wonder if this worker had access to the sterile area of the airport.
Another reason for regularly updated background checks and screening of all airport employees at beginning and end of shift.

She cannot accepted work at airport anymore. She is not allowed to work at airport for a long time. That's bottom line.
