One of the most trusted people at the airport ended up being a crook
Flying can be a stressful time for anyone, and between packing, long lines, and security screenings, the last thing you want to worry about is having your stuff stolen. Unfortunately, that's just what happened to an untold number of travelers departing from Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport's terminal 1 over the past 6 months. A TSA agent named Nelson Santiago is the culprit, and was caught red-handed in an attempt to swipe an iPad from an innocent traveler's luggage.

Based on Santiago's information, detectives are attempting to make contact with travelers who became unwitting victims, but the process is slow and tedious. Tracking down the items the TSA officer stole is even more difficult, as the transactions made online leave very little in the way of a paper trail. Santiago has since been released on bond and is awaiting trial. He has also been fired from the TSA.
