Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints exist to ensure the safety and security of passengers, but one woman who passed through a screening site at Orlando International Airport on Thursday had quite the opposite experience, reports WTVJ.
According to authorities, while she was being patted down, TSA agent Alexander Johnson stole the money out of her bag, notes Orlando Sentinel.
Area police say Kathleen Duddleston grew concerned when she couldn’t see her luggage. After being checked, she looked through her belongings and was unable to find the money.
However, she reportedly did notice a bulge in Johnson’s pocket.
Though he said it was money he’d gotten from the bank, a review of surveillance video revealed that Johnson had allegedly taken Duddleston’s cash, reports WESH.
In a statement, the TSA said it, “…has a zero tolerance for misconduct in the workplace,” and, “…immediately ended the federal career of this individual."
