Doing What Government Does Best


Stealing. And many TSA employees appear to have learned well. Five tips to ensure the TSA doesn't steal your stuff

One aviation insider I spoke with believes stealing is a systemic problem the federal agency is unable to control, particularly at problem airports like New York's LaGuardia Airport and Philadelphia International Airport. Not all of the screening areas in U.S. airports are under surveillance, and the TSA's rules have a big loophole that shifts liability for stolen baggage claims to the airline when luggage is delayed, he told me. In other words, there's little incentive for the stealing to stop. "It's the 800-pound gorilla no one wants to discuss at TSA," he says.

Great idea, let's put government in charge of health care, too. Trust them. ;)
