Baggage handlers in trouble
From CBS New York:
The investigation began after El Al Airlines passengers sounded the alarm. Jewelry, computers, iPads, iPhones and more had disappeared from checked luggage.
The thefts amounted to tens of thousands of dollars over a five-month period and prompted the airline to root out an apparent ring of thieves that had inside access to luggage, CBS 2′s Dave Carlin reported Friday.
A camera placed inside the belly of a 747 led to the arrests of contract baggage workers Tristan Bredwood, Julio Salas, Oshaine Christie, Romaine Smith, Nikosi Cunningham, Dashawn Schooler, and Udhoo Doonauth, police said.
Video shows the suspects rifling through luggage and pocketing items on planes that were making regular flights between Kennedy Airport and Israel, according to prosecutors.

Return TSA tot he private sector!
This same disgusting thievery of lost & unclaimed property is commonplace at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC. The pubic must be aware of the crimes that are being committed against them when their lost property is stolen from the PABT's Lost & Found Dept. by Port Authority Bus Terminal Supervisors. Google “Donna Lebourne abc news." & watch the video, or click on the link below.

If you lost an item at the PABT & it was returned to you, put in a theft report with the PAPD to get your lost item replaced because most likely your item was stolen by PABT management.
It would be nice to see the Port Authority aggressively go after the criminals and their enablers that they employ who engage in these same disgraceful crimes and even worse criminal acts, i.e. the unconscionable and highly illegally procedure of throwing lost passports found at the PABT in the garbage in this age of global terrorism and rampant identity theft. Google “found, stolen, trashed by PA.” See the link below.

No one should be above the law no matter who they work for.
