Just Another Isolated Incident™ :rolleyes:

This is evidence how easily and cheaply TSA screeners can be bought.

I checked the BOP Inmate locator. Seems there are several Jose Sanchez's in the federal system but just two who are not in custody now which would be normal.

Anyone know this characters age? That would narrow down which one it is, and who knows I might want to send a Thank You card to this guy for helping make TSA the notorious agency it is.

If some TSA types will help distribute illegal drugs for $25k how much more would it take to look the other way when "BOOM" is being loaded?

Keep in mind that TSA refuses to screen itself or other airport workers 100% of the time.

Seriously?? They just do "random" screening on staff?

Yep. When asked about it over at PV, TSA claimed it would be "too hard" to screen all airport workers each time they entered the sterile area. :rolleyes:

Seriously.

I sat in the waiting area at DFW a couple months back. I could see the checkpoint where passengers are screened and a few yards away is restricted access for employees to enter the restricted area. NO TSA attending those doors.

While watching I saw any number of airline/airport workers enter. They did swipe their card once in the sterile area but that was it.

Two of these people really surprised me, one had a roll aboard suitcase and another had two grocery bags filled with about 6 large (3 liter) bottles of soda. I know they were airline employees by the uniform they had on, but not aircrew. Neither the suitcase or the bottles of liquid were cleared by TSA. Who knows what these people brought into the sterile area and where it went that day.

To make matters worse, TSA does not directly inspect cargo loaded on passenger aircraft.

This is why many call what TSA does theater, it is all for show.

His Regsiter Number is 81836-004; does that help? ;)

Which is also true at ATL.

I imagine it would be a good idea to screen the largest workforce of the largest airline in the world, but then again, what would I as a mere citizen know? After all, it wasn't passengers who brought weapons on the planes used on 9/11. It also wasn't a passenger who brought a gun on board an airplane that was found on a subsequent screening at IND.

Currently staying at the Miami FDC. Fits.

Thanks

No problem. CC this thread?

This guy won't be in Miami long. Will keep an eye out and see where he winds up.

I am a bit surprised he is not being hidden. He could disappear or the cons may have some fun with a former government employee.

Amazing right? I see the same type of thing all the time at airports.

There is so much overemphasis and screening in some areas, but to negate all of the potential benefits from that annoyance there are gaping holes in security. Makes one feel safe...

Also true at BWI, per discussions with some of my GA contacts.

In my opinion there is NO security.

Why lock the front door to a house when the back door is left standing open?

That is how TSA does security.
