MIAMI – A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) worker at Miami International Airport was charged with grand theft after allegedly stealing from passengers' bags and hiding the items in a special constructed pocket added to his uniform jacket.
Michael Pujol and his wife, Betsy Pujol Salazar, were released on bond Friday, the Miami Herald reported, after the pair were arrested Thursday and charged with grand theft and dealing in stolen property.
Pujol, who was apprehended after an iPad he was accused of stealing was traced to a Craigslist sale, has been suspended from duty and a Feb. 17 trial date set.
A police spokesman said Pujol stowed the stolen goods in a secret jacket pocket that was big enough to conceal a laptop computer.
"We examined another TSA jacket and that pocket was specifically added," he said.
Pujol Salazar admitted that she and her husband have been stealing goods and on-selling them for three years, the Herald reported.

After 9/11 President Bush fired all the nice filipino baggage screeners, who had done nothing wrong, after all, pre 9/11, box cutters were not illegal to take on planes. The filipinos were so nice that even after they thougt they were going to lose their jobs, I saw them on the news saying that they wouldn't strike over it, because "It is Christmas and we can't do that to our passengers."
Their replacements are not nearly as nice!
MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT NEEDS ENFORCEMENT! THEY RUN YOU OVER AT CROSSWALKS BECAUSE THEY DONT STOP! TAXI IDIOTS. THE TSA AND SCREENERS ARE MOSTLY VENDORS AND WHO SCREENS THEM FOR STOLEN PROPERTY?
