It’s bad enough airline customers have to pay to check in luggage. But to have to pay and then have things stolen from the luggage.
Well, former Transportation Security Administration supervisor Randy Pepper pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court in Seattle to stealing $20,000 in jewelry and other items from checked luggage at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the Associated Press reported.
AP reported that Pepper was fired in July 2009 after a TSA worker saw him remove items from luggage. Pepper pawned the items, AP reported.
Pepper is set to be sentenced in November. The AP reported the guideline range is six months to one year in prison.
