The Miami-Dade Police Department set up the camera as part of an ongoing police investigation into luggage thefts by the very airport workers who are supposed to get bags safely onto planes. And these insider thefts just don't happen in Miami. A CNN analysis of passenger property loss claims filed with the TSA from 2010 to 2014 shows 30,621 claims of missing valuables, mostly packed in checked luggage. The rest occurred at security checkpoints. Total property loss claimed: $2.5 million. This is a significant issue that has been going under the radar for quite a while. This reminds me of the Gilded Age because it shows corruption, except this time it's in the work force.
This has been an ongoing issue and needs to be resolved.
ReplyDeleteI have heard many complaints about lost luggage, but I have also heard of it being stolen by workers, so these statistics are quite worrying.
