An undercover sting operation has led to the arrest of at least two Transportation Security Administration officers at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The officers were arrested in connection to stolen parking passes for employee parking lots. The probe was begun several months ago by the airport's Department of Public Safety.
Investigators found that an American Airlines worker had stolen 100 parking passes for employee parking lots and recruited TSA officers to sell them to coworkers for $100 each. One source says that as many as 20 TSA officers are suspected of buying or selling the passes, another source claims that the number of officers involved is closer to 40.
TSA officers at DFW airport are required to pay $102 each quarter for employee parking, by contrast, the stolen passes being sold for $100 in the investigation were good for one year.
It not currently clear whether or not the airlines employee was arrested. Airport spokespersons are declining to comment on the investigation or confirm arrests.
