Eye screeners' bag of tricks

Prosecutors and Port Authority police are probing whether a federal supervisor at LaGuardia's Continental Airlines terminal may have allowed a conspiracy by Homeland Security screeners to routinely harvest Rolex watches, Gucci bags and Dell laptops from checked luggage.

Supports Spiff's contention that baggage screening should be done in view of the passenger.

Could we reinstate the firing squad?

Agreed. Theft is bad no matter who does it. A few bad employees in al of TSA should not effect the perceptions of the entire organization. But theft commited under cover of authority by uniformed government agents should carry penalties much stiffer than normal petty theft.

I think it should start at 24 lashes of the cane for the TSA. Do I hear 30?

Seriously though, IMO, screening of bags should always be done in front of the passenger, for everyone's safety. And any TSA personnel (I refuse to use the word officer) should be subject to very stiff penalties for theft.

You mispelled something. It should be "spiff" penalties...
