I track the TSA very closely and, on average, there’s 1 TSA arrested for crimes against passengers every 9 days since the TSA started. The most common thing for them to steal is pills, followed by cash and watches.

I had a watch stolen at LAX that was actually recovered when they arrested him and found thousands of dollars worth of goods in his apartment. When I read about this, I contact the police department with the serial number and description of my watch.

Six months is a joke. They need to be charged with treason and sentenced to death. If these folks are so good at sneaking stuff out of passenger bags, how much do you think you’d have to pay them to sneak something in?

The answer is for physicians to better vet their patients for heart problems — not to take it away from people like me whose life it has changed immeasurably for the better.
