Bob, I am not defending the TSA. It seems to be staffed by people who are too stupid to work for a real public security agency like the Police or FBI. I also have no doubt that they have a lot of thieves working for them. I have made more links for you. It doesn't prove anything, other than what I said. There is simply no basis for claiming that the TSA are more likely to steal from a passengers bag than an airline employee. Indeed, scroll down on the first link and look at the comments. There an airline employee admits it is a regular occurance and he is one of the thieves!

I know that, but in your first statement you push blame solely on the airline and in the second you state:
No Bob.. I said that there was no way to know did it. However, we do know one thing. The bag was in the care of the airline when it was robbed.

On CCTV, it does not always act as a deterrent, but it would allow crimes to be investigated and the culprit found, if they are TSA. I am sure it would act as a deterrent if they knew every time that it was filmed and traceable.

Anyway, I am offering you a compromise. Many TSA and many airline employees are a bunch of thieves.
