Fort Lauderdale, FL - A rogue TSA Agent who stole more than $50,000 worth of property has been fired and arrested after he was caught trying to shove an iPad down his pants. The thief was named Nelson Santiago, and he had been working for the TSA since 2009. During that time, he racked up fifty grand worth of stolen electronics from passengers traveling through Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport's Terminal 1. If you've traveled through there and had something go missing, chances are he stole it.

Florida - ?Our news yesterday of 30-year-old Transportation Security Administration worker Nelson Santiago's being arrested after apparently being caught stuffing a passenger's iPad in his pants and allegedly stealing $50,000 worth of electronics from luggage went around the world -- from Australia to the United Kingdom. But Santiago is hardly the first TSA employee to be accused of stealing fliers' goods. In fact, he joins at least six other sticky-fingered TSA crew members who were also recently caught allegedly lifting things from luggage.
