A TSA airport screener is accused of helping a burqa-wearing man rob a bank, the Chicago Tribune reports. Investigators said ATM technician Gildardo Lopez Jr. was disguised as a woman as he went inside an ATM vestibule and emerged 15 minutes later with $168,174 in cash, the FBI alleges.

Outside in a getaway car was driver Douglas Pineda, a TSA screener.

Authorities said the 31-year-old men are roommates.
