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.

...all to get everyone used to being check-pointed.
Get used to it all ye cattle!
hmmm..isn't that 2,000 miles "fence" on our south border to keep us in?
What we need is a new agency to police the TSA. That way we'd always have an eye on the bad guys.
Then we can have an agency to watch that agency! And an agency watching those 2!
Pretty soon it's going to be like Christopher Walken trying to get into the Republic of Zangaro.
On a related note, I have found that if one has "injured their shoulder" to the point where they can't raise their hands over their head in the "freeze" mode for the nake scanners then they are medically exempted from having to go through the naked scanner and can also skip the Freddom touching patdown. One proceeds through the medical detector and then has their hand swabbed for explosives and on their way the passanger goes. I keep my cash in my hands through the entire process.
The more you know...

Gotta test that 100 dolla bill for explosives.
test 1: rolling diameter
test 2: ... duh

I don't worry about having my wallet picked or my junk fondled or x-rayed. I dont fly. And no, I don't go to movies or sporting events either.
I'm with you on those as well, but then soon we won't be able to leave our house without submitting to a quick feel.
When do we start shooting back?
They have security and scanners at the movies? Where do you live? Here I just walk in.
Coming to a theater near you, for your own good.
has nothing to do with them loosing tons of money to the anti snack bar smugglers
MSM headline "The TSA allegedly decided that her genitalia didn't match up to their (mis)perceptions about gender."
Yeah, so a man who is confused about his gender tells TSA he's a woman. When he goes through the scanner and it keeps alerting to a "package" he gets irate. So someone lied about gender, TSA finally do something correctly and people are saying TSA has misconceptions about gender. I'm only 35 and can't believe this is America.

Here are some of this confused person's tweets.

I am being held by the TSA in Orlando because of an "anomaly" (my penis)
Shadi Petosky @shadipetosky
Cop asked me what sex I was. I told him I wasn't going to answer that question. I am complying but come on.
Gasp. The horror of being asked what gender you are.
"Does this dick make me look less feminine?"
Indeed it does.
I hate to be the one to tell you, but only men have them. In fact, it's how we tell the diffrence between the 2 genders. I'm sorry if reality dosen't match up with your inner belief of being female.
does this dick look to big on me? does this dick make me look fat?
too old?
That's a criminal offense worthy of emotional harrasment charges and jail time. Serious stuff there, mademesmile. Don't go out the door and poke at gender, kid, you gonna get identified.
Anyone who hasn't seen the newest South Park: "Brave and Stunning"
Must watch in these ridiculous "modern" times.
I heard the clip "Jenner is a special, beautiful butterfly daring to fly into the winds of oppression and if you think otherwise you need to be reeducated" or something like that and about died laughing.
This is basic, basic stuff. If you are confused about your gender go ask a 5 year old, the only ones with no PC filter so they can say the emperor is butt naked.
Maybe you should be a little more concerned with a screening process that is even LOOKING at your possible 'genital abnormalities'...
They should be checking your baggage, demeanor, checked luggage...even your shoes, if there is reason.
But why are they looking at this guy's dick? And deciding it is 'abnormal' and has to be investigated? Do ALL men not have dicks? So, they have seen one before, presumably, and would have an idea of what one looks like on a scan...it is obviously a body part, not a bomb. So even if someone from TSA is dying to know what's going on with this 'chicks' crotch, he KNOWS whatever it is, it's a body part, a deformity perhaps. Certainly NOT a foreign object. And sure as hell none of his fucking business!
So, if you happen to be someone with a genital abnormality, the TSA is entitled to SEE it? Just to "check"?
Instead of arguing the merits of the TSA investigating this, you SHOULD be asking what the fuck they are doing looking at your genitals in the first place!!!
What the fucking fuck has happened to this country?
I totally understand where you are coming from.
In this case it's like two oceans of stupid collide.It's redickulas that you must be groped to board a plane. But groped by the same gender you must.
I would not be live tweeting about how I told TSA I'm a woman, then start to cry when they find a dick. Then refuse to confirm my physical makeup.
But whatever. I am a dickless woman and can't wrap my mind around a man doing this.
Geeze.
They only want to know whether to have a male or female TSA ravage your junk.
I hate flying...got a trip coming up to London, Ontario.....when I go there it feels like I'm to hijab landia.
And STILL nobody goes to jail. Is it any wonder they feel they can steal, molest, and lie with impunity (because they CAN)
If you notice, the cops were the ones that caught him stealing.
So, in reality, the only thing he did wrong was to forget to offer them their cut of the loot.
Dude's gonna get a promotion. Probably IRS or something....there is a spot some lady named Lois vacated.
Yes they are thinking about changing the name of TSA to...The Stealing Agency...
That is already designated to the IRS.
The Sharia Agency
That's the new, ' Pre-Crime, Proceeds Of Crime Act ' legislation in action. Good to see the officers using their initiative under this new legislation .
Plenty more pre-crime criminals out there, who need their pre-crime proceeds of crime, liberated from them. Strictly in the name of justice. And clearly here, we can see ' justice be done ! '
It was probably 61 $1 bills, with hooker stank on them.
Wonder what the TSA agents will let ' slip through ' for say, 50K, 100K, 500k, 1 million ???
Threat to national secuirty if they're employing muppets at the checkpoints.

Outrage and helplessness.
Let the brain washing continue.
Alex Jones makes a living off of outrage and helplessness.
Gubm'nt thugs. More common than beer farts all through history. Hold them in utter contempt and encourage others to do the same.
Theft! Please! When it's a representative of a government agency it's civil asset forfeiture.
Its for your own good; ask anybody who works for the government.
Nobody "works" for the government, as work is something that provides value to someone else who is voluntarily willing to pay for in exchange.
"Employed" is the term you're looking for, and even that's a stretch.
HA! I stand corrected.
"To professionalize, we must federalize."
I am not sure this is Krieger worthy news. In the end, TSA agents are just people with human needs and flaws.
I agree....but bad press for the TSA is good news in my book...
I don't fly anymore unless its over like a 13 hour drive. It isn't worth it.

I bought an older model Piper Cheyenne and whenever I need to get somewhere I put an ad on Craigslist for passengers headed in my direction.
So far I've never had an empty seat and even thought the bird has SAS I do discriminate based on weight.
Fuck 'em.
Same here.
if they steal stuff, they are bribeable, high security indeed. a terrorist could bribe some tsa agents telling them it's drugs he's moving, when in fact it is a bomb..there is no security when there is no honor or respect for law.
we all know everyone flying is pre screened by nsa and other agencies long before we get to the airport. the dumb criminal TSA agents are in fact increasing the risk of terrorist actions.
promote that man to IRS agent!
Check out the perp's picture. Big surprise. NOT!
The biggest shock is he's 37...dude in that pic looks like he's in his 60s.
Looks like crack addict. Putting my bet on this one.
Childhood in Africa adds 50 years.
The government has been taking cash out of our wallets since Christ was a corporal...now they're just being a little less discreet about it.
The IRS is going to get very angry with the TSA. Stealing money from the wallets of Americans is the work of the IRS - not TSA.
allegedly pick up
He either picked it up or he didnt. The footage proves he did. He allegedly stole the money.
I hate this PC crap we alwasy see when reporting a crime.
Waiting for a flight in Lima, Peru we had a security agent trying to take our carry on bags even though they were well within size and weight requirements. Found out later thats it's a common robbery in that airport. Also had things stolen from checked luggage either in Miami or Bogota on a different trip.
TSA is unAmerican. So is the IRS for that matter.
Technically, the IRS is Puerto Rican. Look it up.
The Fuhrer had his Fatherland, Bush and Obummer have their 'Homeland'
The USA is definitely starting to show the same symptoms as Adolf's pre-world war II Germany.
In the end the SS and Gestapo met theirs. As I suspect the TSA, NSA, CIA and others will meet their ends.
Only after the bodies are piled high on the streets. But, alas, this outcome was baked in decades ago. History repeats because underneath it all humans are just less stupid animals compared to other forms of animal life on Earth.
This time IS different,,, The Gestapo didn't have everyone hooked on phones like lapdog ameriKano's.
And without Farcebook and twidder morons putting their life history for all to see, they had to spy the old fashion way.
But just like Germany,,, the u.s chattel won't start complaining until they're on the receiving end of bombing campaigns.
They were just following orders!
seems to be a nigg... oops an african american

The TSA is a GW Bush Socialist jobs program designed to mitigate the GW Bush sponsored criminal and terrorist invasion sponsored by Jeb! Bush and GW Bush and the scumbags at Lehman, the sub-prime community and the FL public employees conscripted to financing criminal invasion and immigrant loan fraud with their own pensions.
"Misssion accomplished" ----->Baliout ------>Then Obama
BTW GW signed executive orders drafted by Jamie Gorelick (ya that Jamie Gorelick).
Listen up, people! Those lines are long. Things would move much faster if everybody just stashed their cash up against their privates, thereby turning this into a one-step process. Soon those long lines will be a distant memory.
'Bangay' ... he's an Islander, maybe half-Flip. Relatively few white men doing that job. I have held back my stream of abuse at TSA grunts the last few years but when this Real I.D. shit kicks in in California, I may lose it ...
The more I hear this stuFf and the more I read ZH(been here 5 yrs now) The DEEPER I WANT TO GO INTO THE WOODS AND NEVER COME BACK!!
Off with his hand!
the only consolation is:
When given the choice between a 10 ounce silver bar or a 10 ounce chocolate bar most people took the chocolate. maybe TSA is to stupid to grab the good stuff?
All of reality is one conscious thought.
RIP TSA Thug. You really worked over the "ZH faggots". Too bad they never understood that you were here to protect their freedoms.
I knew it.
Can the agent plead Civil Asset Forfeiture?
/sarc off
Absolutely!!
TSA employee: "What is my salary?"
TSA HR: "$25/hr plus what ever you can make in found money and possessions."
TSA employee: "Are there any benefits?"
TSA HR: "Usual .gov bennies and you get to fondle people you find attractive."
That's the price us attractive people have to pay.
Checklist before going thru control
1. take cash from wallet and put by nuts
2. Pop open smartphone and take out micro sd card and battery ( not an option for Iphone users)
don't fly...
Another Trayvon at the TSA?
No, just LOTS of theiving niggers. But then, being criminals is in their subhuman DNA!
No, apparently cash was stolen, not a box of cigars.
Even TSA is participating in Civil Asset Forfeiture fraud.
What was he doing with $61 in his wallet? BAN CASH NOW!
After reviewing the photographs of the TSA agents in the article, I wouldn't want any of them handling my junk.
I'm kinda fussy about that.
Some enterprising individuals charge by the hour for that service! Ain't no gropes for free
I thought stealing is illegal?
Not if you are the government. They sign it into law you see.
TSA agents caught stealing should be subject to immediate execution.
What they should do is terminate their employment immediately, and NOT refill the position. And they should conduct investigations of ALL departments and agencies on the public payroll and do the same...if you are committing crime in your position, immediate termination, and the position goes away.
If this was done properly, it would accomplish the desired reduction of government employees that so many want to see. But it would do it in a way that opponents of government downsizing would have a tough argument against. Since you'd only be firing the ones actually guilty of something, few would feel sorry for them for losing their jobs.
The agencies would shrink over time to the level where they start having problems functioning, and we'd have an idea of what the basic costs of a government ARE.
The whole 'issue' with the public unions is ridiculous. I am VERY pro-union in the private sector, but the model does NOT translate to civil service. You don't hear various groups within the military screaming for their own representation...they obey the chain of command and do as they are directed, whether it is in their interests or not. That is because the military could never function if it allowed individual interests to trump loyalty and obedience. No central governing authority can.
As a federal employee, THAT should be your official job title...Federal Employee. You can follow that with "assigned to the CIA, FBI, TSA"...the whole alphabet-soup. But no agency should have its own little in-house pool of unionized employees with their own by-laws and secret handshakes, so to speak.
I'm sure you have head all the stories about tons of stuff stolen from baggage. Carton of cigarettes, electronics, etc.
How do these guys walk out with all this stuff?
I once saw an airpost worker come into the waiting area, hand someone a package and walk back out. My wife went to the desk to report that suspicious behaviior and was told to mind her own business. They delayed the flight while they ran me thru all sorts of searches of myslelf and my carry on. They didn't like me laughing while they were doing it but I thought it was petty and pretty funny. The only thing I didn't like were the looks the passengers gave me when I finally was allowed to board.
The only way to stop these clowns is to prosecute - same thing with bad cops!
You should ALWAYS completely check ANY bags or items that have been out of your sight even for a second. And do it IMMEDIATELY after getting the bag back, right in front of the TSA goon. If ANYTHING is missing, start yelling right there and then.
It'll be easier to get the stuff back if the agent doesn't have time to go stash it in his locker or something...it'll still be ON him when others come over to see what's wrong.
If you are 100% certain TSA stole it, you just have to get them to check the agent you are accusing. Your stuff will still be on him, or nearby. If you are loud and persistant, they WILL have to conduct an investigation, and probably won't let the agent leave the area.
You'll miss your flight, but you WILL nail a TSA thief's ass. They count on people being in a hurry to get where they're going, and to choose to file complaints afterwards. You HAVE to act immediately, on the spot.
If I had some free time, and money, maybe I'd check through some of these problem airports with some 'bait' in my bag and do this...
I'd also send small packages through the mail with gps devices and see how honest the Post Office is...
normally they just steal when you get ticketed....$200 in fees to fly now
I remember the good ol' days here when you could click on the little, barely discernable pic on the front page headlines like http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/fp_thumb/images/... and view a fuller-sized version that you could make sense of.
I had 2 TSA niggers steal 2 1-oz Krug's from my luggage, when I confronted them, they threatened to arrest me. Fuck those niggers, I would love to meet them outside their place of "employment." That's what you get with useless Affirmative Action niggers! Ever wonder why the Post Office, VA and other agencies are so fucked up? They are loaded with useless, lazy, non-qualified niggers who wouldn't be eligible for any other kind of job outside the Government handing them out to the worthless bastards! Fuck the nigger in the White House, too!
Looks like you've bitten the divide and conquer bait hard. Here on ZH, we know that all TSA agents are equally worthless.
You're either lying, or a pussy for not pressing the issue.
Fuck you, asshole! I even made a complaint to the TSA, who found no evidence of wrongdoing by their niggers! Contact me, we'll see who the liar and pussy is!
Ok, ok guys. Lets have no `veiled` threats of violence here. Lets settle down and remember that in The Fight Club our weapons are our pillows not our fists or guns.
OK?

Hey Joe, what you doin' with that $61 dollars in your hand.
Hey Joe, I said what you doin' with that $61 dollars in your hand, oh

You know he gonna make me a transgender man.
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

What's a little annoyance when the make us feel soooo safe...
Flying out of the US next month and this has been one of my main concerns. Dealing with government sychophants who weild their power over the prisoners.
Last time I was in the USA was 2002 and I already could smell the fascism. Couldn't wait to get on the plane out of there. Haven't been back since and renounced last year. There is NOTHING I miss about the USA.
I wonder if TSA Architect scumbag Chertoff will have to return his 51% take of the loot.
he probably already spent it on some dead palestinian's kidneys.
Good point.
Why do we call them TSA "Agents", when barely any of them have more than a high school diploma or GED, along with 40 hours of DHS-sponsored "Here's how to grope Grandma" training...?????
At best, we should call them TSA "associates", or maybe even TSA "greeters", like Walmart does...
The US is a circus; where the ringleaders and the lion-tamers are indistinguishable from the clowns...
this says it all

Meh, it's not like the government steals from us already through taxes. Might as well cut out the middleman.
Keep your wallet, passport in the computer bag. Store your boarding pass within passport. Buy a passport leather case that jams RFID chip. Never a problem going through TSA. I don't use fast track lane or IRIS Bullshit.
Lastly, be nice and cordial. It makes a difference. They have a shity job, make them feel respected. You'll never have a issue.
At least in my case, I do get security love letters in my luggage. No one has stolen anything as of date.
You are a good obedient citizen....
Having low IQ people, thieves and perverts as security is a way in which the government humiliates and harasses the population. You have these people everywhere around the world nowadays. Too stupid to become real cops but with an attitude like they are Napoleon.
Remeber when it was only when you traveled to some third world country you had to warry about dirty officials stealing from you?
This is why we have the TSA perverts and thieves, and why only holograms and video forgery was needed, compliments of False Zion's Mossad, Bush and Cheney, the FX team from Turner Studios, our Organized Crime ruling false-elite's Big Media, and the JFK-assassinating Roman Catholic CIA/FBI/NSA.

There's no reason anyone would need to carry that much cash! Obviously drug money!
About 2 years ago I was in that same terminal waiting for my flight, when I noticed a small group of TSA agents conversing near me. I instantly noticed ow out of place they looked. Such lower blue-collar/white trash are never seen in an airport as passengers. They have nowhere to go.
I found myself wondering "Are there trailer parks in NYC?"
And they are supposedly guarding against terrorism.
The fuckers stole a 200$ plus benchmade knife out of my tool kit.
Fuckers.
My USB flash drive disappeared out of my suitcase pocket last trip. It was my company data as well. Protected to some extent by what I would consider a weak password, so hopefully they just erased it and filled it with rap songs.
TSA = Too Slimy Actually
I felt safer preTSA.
And you can't sue the government? People should just throw the middle finger at flying for a couple of years. Guarantee this BS will get fixed when the big corporations profit (i.e. government tax revenues) gets hit hard.
