Another TSA Fail As Agent Admits To Selling Drugs

January 18, 2010 at 3:00 PM | by | Comment (1)

We kind of feel bad for the TSA. Despite their attempts to keep us safe from ourselves, there are the few rogue agents that continue to bring bad news to the entire agency. However, that doesn’t mean that we are going to stop pointing out their missteps, like the former agent who recently admitted to selling drugs.

A former TSA employee at Boston's Logan Airport recently spilled the beans about selling OxyContin. The best part of the story is that he used his drug money profits to buy himself a Lotus—a fancy pants sports car. His best sales were during January 2006, when he sold about 200 of the pills while working for the government.

It’s TSA policy not to comment on stuff like this, but we’ll just assume that they aren’t too thrilled. The former security screener hasn’t been sentenced just yet, but he will likely be serving up to four years in prison. Apparently he cooperated with authorities—which is good—but it’s still bad to sell drugs. Just say no, you guys.

TSA agent should get drug rehab instead of prison

I believe the only way to help this country and the individual would be to send him to one of our many drug rehab centers instead of to prison. He has a better chance at changing his ways by learning a new way of life in rehab than locked up with criminals...that will likely make him more of a criminal. In the long run, it is a no brainer. Rehabilitate people!!!
