TSA Officer Pleads Guilty to Stealing Cash from Passenger

TSA Officer John W. Irwin entered a guilty plea to the charges that he stole cash from a passenger. His motivation: retaliation! The incident happened back in 2011 to a passenger with a medical condition who asked to be manually searched. The passenger put the money in the bin, and the TSA took it!

The Virginian Pilot reports:

Irwin initially denied to police any knowledge of the money, according to the court statement. He later told police he put the money in his locker, records state. In a statement to police, Irwin wrote, “when the passenger returned and I saw that it was the passenger who had given my fellow employees a hard time. I just didn’t let on that I had the money.”

Let’s hope the judge throws the book at this domestic terrorist.
