TSA Supervisor Stole Pills From Luggage

They're all that stand between us and ... our medication

Syracuse, NY—It's the job of Transportation Security Administration workers to catch passengers sneaking illegal items onto planes.

But a TSA supervisor was himself caught on videotape last month stealing 12 Tylenol pills from a passenger's luggage in Syracuse, according to a police report.

That same day, Supervisory Transportation Security Officer Jeremy Hemingway was either fired or resigned, according to an internal TSA email obtained by The Post-Standard.

Lisa Farbstein, a TSA spokeswoman in Washington, D.C., would not comment on the specifics of the case.
