TSA Agents Caught Stealing Items From Passenger's Luggage At Miami Airport

A shocking video of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers stealing items from bags of the passengers at Miami International Airport goes viral on social media.

The video released by the Florida State Attorney's Office shows the agents open bags of the passengers before the CT scan.

A 20-minute CCTV footage dated July 29 exposes TSA workers Williams and Gonzales opening a small pocket at the front of a bag on the conveyor belt, taking out a wallet, pushing the bag through the CT scanner, and putting his hands in his pocket while another clip reveals two agents focusing on the security trays, and one of them putting an item into his pocket.

The three accused Labarrius Williams, Josue Gonzalez, and Elizabeth Fuster were arrested by the police over 'organised scheme to defraud' charges. However, they had to release Fuster.

Reportedly, the Miami International Airport's federal security depositor informed Miami-Dade Police following the constant thefts at the security checkpoint on Concourse E.

Reacting to the incident that took place at Miami Airport, a passenger named David Caban reportedly said the TSA workers must have a lot of courage to do such an act in spite of knowing that they are under CCTV vigilance.

According to the police report, the duo allegedly robbed $600 from a passenger's wallet when the latter was going through the screening process.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said they have removed the officers from screening duties and a strict action has been taken against the accused.

The statement by TSA stated, "The Transportation Security Administration holds its Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) to the highest professional and ethical standards and has no tolerance for misconduct in the workplace."

"We actively and aggressively investigated these misconduct allegations and presented our findings to the Miami Dade Police Department, and are working closely with them. Any employee who fails to meet our fundamental ethical standards is held accountable," the statement added.
