That's a pretty weird statement, if one of his colleagues would swipe cash that travelers put in the bins then they should fire their ass and move them to the 'not good people' column. Stealing isn't something that defines you as human.

I don't think he has the power to fire his colleagues. I think that's reading too much into it, for a lot of people 20 is a lot and for a lot of people you just don't trust others with stray cash laying around. It doesn't say much about humans, except that a small portion of people are willing to commit crime and that's why we have to protect ourselves

I think pretty much everyone has stolen something before, right?

That says more about you than it does about humans in general.

True, but what I've done should say a lot about humans in general right? I'm told I'm human, after all.

No, you can't generalize like that.

I think the point the employee was making was that there is a lot of financial desperation among TSA employees, and also minimal supervision. This is pretty well-documented in the news media as well.
