"The Wild West of Luggage Theft". 507 airport screeners have been fired in the U.S. for stealing from luggage over the past 13 years. The TSA has sent "bait bags" with iPads, watches and jewelry to try to catch dishonest agents.

Wow... this is disturbing. Who's the HR Director anyway? They need to Screen the Screeners.... and screen the screeners that screen the screeners.

Over 40,000 TSA employees. 507 thefts in 13 years? If it were a town of 40,000 people comprised of the same demographics of TSA screeners, and there were 507 thefts over a thirteen year period, that would be pretty damn good. Lets take a step back here.

Its fun to hate the TSA.

I've gotten a knife stolen, but I never put anything really valuable in my checked bag. Just clothes.

They need to fire all the TSA baboons. I've never encountered a more mentally deficient and slack-jawed group of people. I've seen them harass all sorts of people with no reason.

Pregnant women, Sikhs, kids.

They are a disgusting and ineffective group who don't deserve to have jobs.

Yet they get pissed when we want to put our own lock on our bag

That is one of the worst feelings when you're the lone idiot at the baggage claim waiting for a bag that will never come.
