Luggage thieves working with the TSA

They both say there are organized rings of thieves, who identify valuables in your checked luggage by looking at the TSA x-ray screens, then communicate with baggage handlers by text or cell phone, telling them exactly what to look for...
More details at the link, but it's all so depressing. Can we get rid of the TSA now, please?

  1. I second it. It is impossible for the TSA to be more useless.

  2. Jeffrey Goldberg took a box cutter, a knife, an Hamas flag, and Osama bin Laden T shirt and other contraband in his carry-on luggage with no problem. He showed his stash to Stephen Colbert last night. When he flew home with the same items, only a tube of lotion, a gift from Colbert, was confiscated.
