TSA Agent Caught Stealing From Passenger's Wallet At NYC Airport Checkpoint
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
TSA agents don’t get enough credit. They aren’t just experts at sexually molesting airport passengers, although they are very good at that. They have also become well known for outright theft.
Here’s the latest from the New York Post:
A TSA agent at JFK Airport was busted when he was caught stealing money out of a passenger’s wallet at a security checkpoint, authorities said.
Joe Bangay, 37, was processing passengers at Terminal 1 around 10:30 p.m. Saturday when he swiped $61 in cash out of the passenger’s wallet, according to police.
PAPD officers reviewed security footage and watched as the victim placed the wallet in a basket and laid it on the conveyor belt of the X-ray machine.
The cops then witnessed Bangay allegedly pick up the wallet and pocket the money.
The theft comes on the heels of several other crimes involving TSA agents.
Agent Margo Lauree-Grant was arrested earlier this month for allegedly stealing a Canadian passenger’s diamond-encrusted watch at JFK.
Don’t worry, they’re just keeping us safe.

Merely confiscating contraband. Nothing to see here...
There could have been a terrst in that wallet. This man is a hero.
Passenger's lucky....the NSA guard might have swiped his passport.
In the end, all he took was some worthless paper. It's not like he stole the man's real money.
The police confiscate property including cash all the time from people who are not even suspected of a crime.
Why shouldn't the TSA grab some loot too?
Not like anyone might notice... Who is stupid enough to even attempt that?
Did anyone point out that the LEO pension funds are dipping and stealing more out of my wallet than that TSA agent, while the LEOs were watching him on video eating their donuts. Add to that their overtime and prime insurance coverage which I pay for them but I dont get.
And their job is no more dangerous than my existance having to walk around this world without a gun and a bullet proof vest and instant backup from a posse of heavily armed SWAT. Im the target they arent.
dindunuffin.
A Jeopardy question:
a fat lip, a black eye, or a job...
Always travel with a dummy wallet filled with dog poo.
Who gropes the gropers?
This TSA groping/theft is all part of the plan. Everything is going according to script.
My balls are safe for travel... Game on! \o/
With corruption being endemic to all sorts of American law enforcement agencies, it begs the question: Do Black Lives Matter activists not have a point?
Ummm, you probably should have waited for a different article to again try to divert the comments off topic and onto race, cuz Joe Bangay is ummm, how can I put this delicately...black...lol.

PS - Hey Larsson, what percentage of cops charged in the Freddie Gray death are black?

BITCOIN
Well, somebody had to say it.
So, the other day I was exiting the freeway, turning onto the thoroughfare entrance to my local airport. As I was approaching the car in front of me I noticed a bumper sticker that announced the driver's preference for a presidential candidate known as Hillary Clinton. I also noticed the obligatory COEXIST bumper sticker next to the obligatory Darwin walking-fish magnet thingy. The individual was driving well below the speed limit and swerving a bit, clear indications of somebody texting while driving. As I passed this mongrel and was about to give her the WTF stare, I noticed something that I shouldn't have found surpising at all....she was a TSA AGENT on her way to work! Mother fuckin A.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq-G4HATiC8
did she look something like the "i need to check your asshole" lady?
Hahaha! No, she wasn't a darkie. She was white, obese, wearing the intellectual, thick-framed, I-hang-out-at-Starbucks-in-my-free-time-even-though-I-claim-to-hate-big-corporations glasses, probably about age 25, fugly penis-repellant. You know the type, Carl. The I hate men but I wish one of them would fuck the shit out of me just once type.
ya I know the type. Being a TSA agent is the PERFECT job for them, too. Anyone with a hillary clinton bumper sticker while also displaying the "coexist" nonsense is obviously an idiot, don't even have to interact with them to make that determination. The first time I saw that southpark, my first comment was that they must have done their research observing the TSA at the atlanta airport. Im from there originally, and that is EXACTLY what you will be dealing with when flying through there.
The bigger the Government, the bigger the theft
This so racist, it only takes one of us caught stealing on camera and you all assume Obama's sons are all bad?
Won't someone think of my below average-IQ other ugly bastard children?
Where is Hillary on this very important matter? She seems to care a lot in profiting from us little people. Where do I send my contribution to th her non-profitable foundation?
Why are all of the TSA agents in the pics on Mike Krieger's Liberty Blitzkrieg blog always white dudes?

http://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2015/08/27/big-brother-idiocy-tsa-spent-160...
Most TSA agents aren't white and most look like they could be Obama's sons and daughters.
Like most federal agencies, the TSA provides affirmative action sheltered employment to a segment of the population that is low-level, incompetent, scandalous, molesting, abusive, and in some cases criminal.
"Won't someone think of my below average-IQ other ugly bastard children?"
Are you referring to infant Rednecks?
Eirik
Quite the contrary we had in mind your offsprings.
@DutchR
http://www.rt.com/usa/316232-pleads-guilty-bitcoin-ponzi/
Prosecutors said that the scheme, which the Texas man ran in 2011 and 2012, resulted in Shavers controlling 7 percent – more than 764,000 – of all bitcoins in circulation at one point. The 764,000 bitcoins were valued at around $4.6 million at the time, and would be valued at about $173 million based on current exchange rates.
But wait. Here's the best part:
He reportedly used at least 146,000 bitcoin – more than $33 million based on current exchange rates – to pay for personal expenses, including a BMW M5 sedan, a $1,000 steakhouse dinner in Las Vegas, spa treatments, casino visits, rent, and groceries.
A federal prosecutor said Shavers did, however, invest some of the bitcoin in the now-defunct Tokyo-based Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange.
Somebody had to say it
Before Bit coin nobody got away with Ponzi schemes using cash, checks, or debit cards.
Obviously these protectors of liberty are underpaid. If we only gave TSA greater funding, this would not have happened.
I've just been carrying it in my pocket...
Just wait until those pension funds really start to roll over. We ain't seen nothing yet!
Let me mention Einstein again.
Einstein again,
This fella has such a proper name though.
Joe Ban-gay.
Obviously the TSA set him up.
Stop being so mean. That man is clearly a kleptomaniac and deserves your kindness and understanding. He should be removed from the wallet search area and placed in the genital fondling line so he can have his dignity restored and remain a productive member of society.
Miffed;-)
That would just be enabling, no doubt he would try to steal some family jewels.
Stop it, Miffed and 813, stop it this instant!
Okay, that's enough. I can't continue this with a straight face.
Both of you are funnier than hell. Thanks for the laugh!
If sarcasm ever becomes an Olympic sport,

Seriously, don't we read ZH as much for the comments as the contrarian analyses?
Where are the analyses?
@ freedom guy : yes

Nope!

But I'm sure it's somehow homophobic because his name has the word gay in it. Instead of a mugshot he should be on the cover of Vogue.
"Bang gay"? Oh dear that just can't be. Was this story originally from the Onion?
Maybe I was a little hasty transferring him to the genital fondling line.
Miffed;-)
If that Dude is only 37, he's been rode hard and put away wet!
NAAGP [National Association for the Advancement of Groper Peeples] objects!
NAFR (Negro Association for Forced Reparations) objects too! Shit it that wallet belong to the brotha, motha!
From the looks of his eyes in that picture I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he was going to purchase narcotics with the stolen fiat.
that would give motive to what seems to have been a hasty decision.
remember they are there to stop the next bunch of suicidal saudis attacking our passenger planes and destroying high rise buildings (nuclear plants, suburban shopping malls, sports stadiums, take your pick).
that that never happened is not too important.

If Obama had a son...
the other TSA agents had to know this guy was stealing from people. There is no way you can do that in the open the way he did with others not seeing it. That entire crew should be fired without pay and have one of their testicles squashed in front of other TSA agents so they get the idea. Better yet, dissolve the entire corrupt TSA agency of parasites.
All thiis shit coulld be stopped if all who fly would just sit on their asses at home for a month.
The airlines would be so hungry, they'd eat the fuckin' TSA.
But, everyone has their nose in their phone and TSA will just go on and get worse.
That shit is rampant. Ask anyone who has traveled if their TSA secured luggage is ever missing anything. What a fucking joke. And the sheep bleat on...
article says he is 37, looks at least 57. damn, life has been hard on him
You don't think he'd slice them off, do you?
Good to see your post.

Grab some tissue. You may need it.
Grabbed some earplugs instead. Anderson's voice is in that brain-splitting perma-tenor range that makes me stabby.
Yes's instrumentals are some of the greatest music ever, and the songs where Jon figures out that he's just one of the instruments - not the song - are excellent. But you have to keep your thumb on that Next Track button or he'll start that police siren screeching and you'll accidentally murder people.
I heard an interview that really helped explain why Yes couldn't retain band members, and why Rick Wakeman had such a huge drinking problem. Apparently, just being in a studio with Anderson, even when he's in an isolation booth, that 170db SPL screeching that he emits induces suicidal thoughts, psychotic hallucinations, and nausea.
What's the problem? This took place in NYC, well within the "Constitution-Free Zone." For those who don't know, the "Constitution-Free Zone" includes all land within a 100-mile radius of the US border around the country:

DiBlasio is proud of this guy; will probably award him the Big Apple Medal of Freedom next month.
yep, due to that, my ENTIRE state is within one, as there is no part of FL that isnt within 100 miles of the coast.
Becoming more like Mexico by the day.
No, in Mexico you slide the guy $61 BEFORE the grope and you and your narcotics/contraband are "free to travel Mexico".
If you add $5, his 19 year-old daughter will also give you a knuckle shuffle.
Probably still a good idea to travel through Meheeco with Playboys and Marlboros. This simple strategy has gotten us out of a few situaciones muy mal.
The TSA agent probably thought it was a Bankster wallet.....
or Obama Wallet!!!!
After all! They are $27k/year FEDERAL EMPLOYEES (thugs) forced to live in a studio/share at that rate. Of course they steal.
BUT! They were slick enough to keep their previous thieving off of their criminal records so they could get into that cushy job!
And they have to put out for the blue shirts too! So!
I wonder what would happen if/when I travel with some small gold coins... Goons. Watch them like a hawk.
And soon we will ALL have to travel w/ passports (domestic flights), ugh.
What's hilarious is that California was not on the list of states where they were going to start requiring a passport for domestic flights... this is the state that first decided to issue state IDs/DLs to illegal immigrants...lol
So if you live in NY, you're an "unclean" citizen for not having your passport, but if you're an illegal alien in California, hop on board.
Goddamn the world is insane.

Vonderbar. Thanks for that. To the barricades.
I had never heard of RamZPaul, until now. Man Crush!!! What a pimp!
Use some of those gold spray painted tungsten coins, to see if they take the bait. If they do, you can have the satisfaction of knowing that someone, somewhere will get their just desserts eventually. If they don't, no harm done.
Nice.
mamaSkate showed me Mike Adams' anti-TSA techniques a couple of years ago - funny stuff (no, not really). We've since referred to this in jest, seriousness, or irony, when we travel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ9O9HDhgjQ
Excellent, skate, well worth the watch. Many thanx to the mama.

Commedian Doug Stanhope says he crams every conceivable and perverse sex toy he can find in his travel bags.
I just came back from Asia last week......had a bit of the dribblin' blobs there for two days... so I saved two pairs of underwear with some funky skidmarks in them and a bunch of sweaty dirty sox... and shoved those in my knap-sack. Fuck-em. I was laughin' my ass off every time they searched the knapsack and got a good ole wiff of my personalized DNA.
I left me "valuables" at my friends house over there for my next trip over in a few months.
Duc....
Whiffing your knap-sack may be satisfactory suffering, according to theologists.
Poverty and third world like conditions in America are the real reason, this man committed the crime. Expect more such problems in the years ahead.
Hunger and Poverty Fact SheetFunny how poverty and third world conditions follow certain demographic elements wherever they go..
It's uncanny. Almost like voodoo or something.
Law Enforcement defense: We suspected money was earnings from illegal activity. Can't be convicted.
When someone in a position of total authority does some shit like this ...one of their fingers should be cut off as part of their "on the job learning."
I prefer job lost and dragged outside and shot.
I see a promotion coming.....
"There could have been a terrst in that wallet"
Given all the portraits of Washington and Lincoln the guy was carrying I'm surprized they didn't shoot him on the spot.
There could have been a terrst in that wallet. This man is a hero.
Well, according to the "authorities", there ARE turrerrists in our wallets ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOJZS6AeejA
The TSA claims it thwarted over 587 terrist wallets from completing terrists operations in 2012.
Benjamin Franklin was a rebel
When I think of Benjamin Franklin, as I often do, I remember that he wrote two pamplets: Advice to a Young Man Seeking a Mistress, and, The Technique of Farting.
What a jolly fellow!
He's helping start the ban on cash. For the children.
Just more Civil Forfeiture, move along. Gotta make a dollah somehow.
FORWARD SOVIET THIEVES!
It's not like it's worth much anymore anyway...
The TSA is security theatre.
SHUT.IT.DOWN
The whole damn United States is theatre.
Then also SHUT.IT.DOWN.
Comment of the day. Golf clap.
I believe the correct term is 'forfeiture'. Nothing so gauche as confiscation or stealing.
The money was "liberated." Yeah, that's the ticket.
Noted.
Sorry....Off Topic.
But CNBC has just released a bombshell on MArtin Shkreli, the sociopath CEO of the company that jacked that drug up 5000% overnight.
He truly is CRAZY ! In fact, he got run out of his old company for harassing an entire family of a guy he accused of fraud.
http://www.cnbc.com/2015/09/22/controversial-drug-ceo-was-accused-of-ser...
"Your husband had stolen $1.6 million from me and I will get it back. I will go to any length necessary to get it back," Shkreli allegedly wrote the wife of former Retrophin employee Timothy Pierotti in a January 2013 letter, according to court documents.
"Your pathetic excuse of a husband needs to get a real job that does not depend on fraud to succeed ... I hope to see you and your four children homeless and will do whatever I can to assure this," Shkreli allegedly wrote.
But HERE IS THE REAL REASON THIS COCKSUCKER IS RAISING THE PRICE OF THE DRUG 5000 %
Police in New Jersey were contacted about the alleged harassment as it escalated around Christmas, Retrophin settled a lawsuit against the ex-worker out of court, confidentially, in early 2014 after the employee's lawyer asked a New York judge to order Shkreli's computers to be analyzed on the heels of the allegations.
Retrophin's board later move to replace Shkreli as CEO, and he resigned his positions. Retrophin is now suing him for $65 million in a case where he is accused of acting against the interests of the company.
That's right. This little sniveling cocksucker is being sued for 65 million dollars for his little sociopathic hissy fit.
Daddy needs a legal fund. I think I'll just jack this drug up a few THOUSAND PERCENT !!!
But here's the kicker. HE'S A COMPLETE FRAUD !! IN HIS FORMER COMPANIE'S OWN WORDS
Shkreli, a former hedge fund manager, had been fired from Retrophin, which he founded, last year. In August, the company sued him in Manhattan federal court, for "repeatedly breaching his duty of loyalty to Retrophin," by allegedly using his control of Retrophin to "enrich himself and to pay off claims of [his prior hedge fund's] investors (who he had defrauded)," Retrophin claimed in its suit.
"Shkreli was the paradigm faithless servant," Retrophin charged in its suit, which is seeking $65 million in damages from its founder.
I junked you for temporarily de-railing the comedy train.
All ABOARD!
Cash can be set on fire, so it may as well be classified as an incediary device. And there is no telling what a gold or silver coin may contain. For all we know it may be a foil wrapped blob of C4, like one of them chocolate dollars.
with a ligher and silver coins you could melt the silver into a weapon in flight. They have to confiscate them all. Fiat paper could be used to feed the recasting fire, must confiscate it too. Your dick could be used to flash temper the metal, must confiscate your dick.
Now I'm thinking like a real TSA agent.
Welcome to the third world!
We need Justice but it is no where in the USSA
Just a footsoldier in the War on Cash.
When Questioned about his actions he was heard to say "Civil asset forfeiture is allowed ain't it. Fucking Cops do it why can't I. If they can afford to Fly they can afford to pay"
FFS he is only learning from the biggest Kleptocracy in the "Free World"
The agent merely confiscated 'drug' money. The victim can buy a lot of drugs with $61.
those Brave Men and Women don't get paid enough... NOT NEARLY ENOUGH... OMG.. LOL!!!!
"This belongs to Janet Yellen, serf. Now grab those ankles!"
Not surprised!
I left Manchester Airport and had to surrender my lighter to the security nazis. Upon my return I bought a lighter from the shop in the airport which was practically empty of fuel. I wonder where they got those from...
I want to know who has my leatherman and pocket tools. After 9/11 the aussie air ports took even nail clippers.....at regional air ports with dirt strips. No compensation and no outcry. These were normal practical possessions. Now other women look at me funny when I express disgust. Money I spent and the practicality of the items gets a glazed look as if its my fault for being safety conscious. Upside down!
New ways of obtaining monies gotta start somewhere...pretty soon,this will be the new norm..moving on.
Got into a scuffle with a TSA agent a couple weeks ago going through customs.
Got tired of being asked at 7 checkpoints to provide documents while my kid was crying at midnight.
Too much.
I like to think I would've slowed played it. The sounds of my children screaming and crying are unpleasant, but I can deal with it. Having TSA goon listen to that for 20 minutes would make me smile, but only on the inside lest he realize I'm fucking with him.
Cash is suspicious; best to just seize it.
Ban Gay!
The scope of unwarranted power at Homeland Security attracts criminals, sexual deviants and sociopaths. The entire monolithic criminal enterprise should be shutdown as the menace to civilization that it is.
The entire monolithic criminal enterprise should be shutdown as the menace to civilization that it is.
It is operating precisely as designed.
That's no reason to tolerate it. I don't like the design because the design is corrosive and it should be shutdown.
I've shut it down by not flying. Ever. At all for any reason. I will never again set foot in an airline terminal.
Jeeze Miss Kitty! Don't you ever get the yen to travel accross the ocean? I suppose there are other means of transport...
Fuck the ocean. Fuck travel in general. The world is scary and you can have it. I get my seafood at the market and that's as close to the ocean as I need ever get.
People need to examine their priorities. If the TSA wants to grope me they'll have to break into my house to do it. In which event I get to eat them so they are perfectly welcome to try it.
ditto. Airports are banned from my life.
Same here. Never again. I drive, period, and no distance is too far. If it is then I don't need to go there.
Try driving to Japan.
Nobody needs to go to Japan. There was a time when nobody even thought about going to Japan. Needing to go there is a very recent invention and part of the ongoing consumer illusion that is now rapidly falling down around our heads.
I'm pretty sure "attracts" is not the correct verb there. More like "recruits" or "seeks people with the following tendencies".
Radical Marijuana makes similar arguments about the violently enforced frauds that underpin government, but not nearly as succinctly :)
The tip of the spear for banning cash.
The TSA has no law enforcement powers, has never caught a terrorist and fails regularly at their own internal testing. Why do they still exist?
They exist because its and Israeli company.
They exist because it is an Israeli company.
Malarkey!
so as long as he didn't steal from a jew, what's the problem. according to them, we're here to be exploited by the tribe. god said it was o k
A 6% success rate is failing? :-)
Yep. He probably got training last week, and forgot they told him to wait for the policy to change.
"Why do they still exist?" Because you, we and I have not shut them down yet.
Not worth the risk with cash. I think I will just go all electronic money.
oh, come on guys. Was the /s really required on this one? ha ha.
obviously
Tough room today.
Fuck the TSA. Flying in Europe is a dream compared to being raped by the TSA for even domestic flights in the U.S.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu6KXj-vtl8
The TSA should not exist, the TSA but they can fuck off
Same thing you would expect when traveling in Kenya or Zimbabwe. Oh, wait a minute, could it have something to do with the current leadership in this country, since it is similar to other third world countries.
It is getting deep, folks. You can just "feel" it all about to come unravelled.
