A former TSA worker has pleaded guilty to stealing over $500 in cash
from a man who complained about the TSA’s invasive pat down procedure,
with the TSA agent admitting the theft was a punishment for the man’s
lack of obedience.
60-year-old John W. Irwin pleaded guilty to one count of grand larcenyfollowing an incident in November 2011, during which a man asked that he be given a pat down rather than face a body scanner due to a medical condition.
When TSA agents ordered the man undergo the pat down in a private room, he complained but agreed to do so.
The man placed $520 in cash in a gray plastic bin before
accompanying the TSA agents to the private room. When he returned, the
money was gone, with Irwin having hidden it in a TSA supervisor’s draw.
When the man asked Irwin where the cash had gone, Irwin
claimed ignorance and the incident was subsequently reported to the
police.
After first denying to police that he had stolen the
money, Irwin later admitted he had put the cash in his locker as a form
of punishment in retaliation for the man complaining over his treatment.
