This seems like a typical "gotcha" story. TSA has approximately 60,000 employees and to show that one stole something, or even one hundred have stolen things, doesn't raise any real red flags to me. I wish it didn't happen but I don't think this can really be used as an overarching critique of TSA. If we want to argue against TSA, let's keep arguments framed around invasive procedures, general incompetence, or the cost/benefit ratio that they seem to provide.

This is an employee that's supposed to be preventing crime. Showing that some of them are involved in crime is a reasonable thing to do.

Unattended items have some[1] risk of being bombs. I want airport employees to treat unattended items as if a customer has lost something (probably the case) or as if they're bombs (so at least those continued loops telling me not to leave anything unattended don't go to waste).

[1] Has any unattended item even been a bomb?
