By Stealing Lawfully Held Guns!
A worker at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has been charged with stealing shotguns, revolvers and other weapons from the checked luggage of passengers who had connections through the busy Twin Cities airport….A review of footage showed Vang removing items from checked luggage and taking them to an unsecured employee parking ramp where his wife was waiting in a vehicle, the criminal complaint said.
Vang was arrested in October and is no longer working at the airport, Hogan said.
Several boxes containing firearms, a crossbow, iPads, laptops, mobile phones, jewelry and other electronics were removed from Vang’s apartment, the complaint said. Authorities said he had 716 stolen items, valued at more than $84,000.
Fly the friendly skies…just don’t land, for the Keystone Kops run the show!
I thought the same thing about TSA at first, but it doesn’t actually say he’s a TSA employee, looks like he’s a maintenance worker.
If he was a TSA employee, I’m sure he’d still have his job.
Yeah he wasn’t TSA, but aren’t the TSA around to PREVENT this sort of stuff? Especially with guns being handled in an airport? He obviously had access to secured areas, yet look at what he was doing!
True enough.
