Brickbat: Professional Behavior
An alert traveler spotted a bag containing a computer and passport that someone had left behind at Orlando International Airport. That person turned it over to Transportation Security Administration Officer Keith McKnight. But McKnight didn't take the bag to lost and found. Instead, he took the computer to a local shop, told them he'd bought it at a flea market and asked to have it wiped clean. Fortunately, the computer had a tracking device that allowed the owner to track it down. Police arrested McKnight, who resigned from his job.

Also: "I've heard stories about this going on at different airports so I'm not surprised. But I'm surprised it would continue," said visitor Mike Archer.
Wow. Canadians really aren't that bright, eh?

My campaign is working!
Probably won't be here for morning links: We've got to pass it to find out what's in it.
It works here in Sunny Minnesota. Our governor is in the news today for calling for a repeal of a tax that he may or may not have been aware of before he signed a big tax bill last year.
Local GOP is OK with repealing the farm tax, and they also want to repeal a warehouse tax. However the gov says:
Oh yeah, the kicker is that the new tax Dayton won't get rid of until the revenue has been replaced hasn't gone into effect yet.

If you want a small state, pass a law to have state guvernment funded entirely by pull-tabs. đŸ™‚
You really are in the pocket of Big Pulltab aren't you
LUDDITE!
E-pulltabs is where it is at. Why here in River City we are paying for an entire Vikings stadium and other charities with e-pull-tabs. Oh, wait. No one plays e-pull-tabs.
Guess the Vikes stadium is coming right out of the general fund.
Remember those are still projections. Not real money that has actually been collected.
The Star Tribune said so far about $300,000 has been collected. This stadium deal is going to screw us all just as expected.
Fight Global Warming. For the Dolphins.
Standard Reuters shit; post headline, suggest "climate change," then tag on the actual news story somewhere towards the end.
I'm pretty sure the dolphins will be raping their way merrily across the seas at plus or minus 3 degC.
I couldn't have read that correctly - i thought it said a guy who wears a uniform for the government resigned just because he was arrested
The actual article said he was fired I think.
Woops, I had it confused, although the wording is still marginally ambiguous. "he was arrested and resigned" *could* mean he "got resigned."
Sounds like your typical TSA folk to me lol.

Anonbot is no dumber than our government employees and elected officials.
that's a pretty low standard for dumb in anyones book...
Just another day at the Thieving Scoundrels' Agency.
Makes you wonder how many times he'd done this before getting caught.
You're skeptical of his massive collection of shampoo bottles?
Hey now, if only they would pay TSA agents a living wage, they wouldn't have to resort to thievery.
you mean to tell me that they're alive??? couldnt be, no one that stupid could be called living
