America's Stupidest Criminals Features the TSA!

What, they don't know about cameras where they work?!?

quote:

Surveillance video showed Schmid taking the money from a jacket pocket, wrapping the cash in a plastic glove and taking it to a bathroom

quote:

Last month, an agent who worked searching checked luggage at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport was suspended after the owner of a stolen iPad used the tracking feature on the device to locate it at the agent's home. Police found seven other iPads there.

quote:

Also in January, authorities charged an agent at Miami International Airport with swiping items and luggage and smuggling them out of the airport in a hidden pocket of his work jacket. He was arrested after one of the items, an iPad, was spotted for sale on Craigslist.

If they were smart, they'd be a better class of criminal...

Even then, cameras are ubiquitous, even if it's not as bad as Britain yet. An entire generation has grown up under the camera, from elementary school on up. All public buildings in my town have cameras. Most stores. Most office buildings. They're stuck on poles and hung beside traffic lights. Lots of houses have them. You have people who have grown up knowing that 99.9999999% of the time they can do anything they want in front of a camera, and nothing will happen to them. So they ratchet their actions on up, until finally they do something that makes it worthwhile for the police to get the recordings and detail someone to sift through them. At which point, it's all a big surprise to the perpetrator... nothing ever happened before!

And they're the ones who are supposed to be keeping the airways safe. Really fills one with confidence.

I wonder what would happen if I strategically placed mousetraps in my luggage.
