SSCC #246–TSA

1 Comment

Don’t believe me that the TSA is a criminal enterprise sponsored by the state?  Or do you think my comment was off base that the higher ups are only upset when their employees are caught?  Well think again.

The couple contacted TSA to see if security cameras are in place to prevent employees from taking people’s belongings after they go behind closed doors. LaFlamme said she was told no.

A TSA spokesperson told us out of security concerns they couldn’t disclose that information.

Now it wasn’t the smartest idea to put money in your checked baggage, but if you can’t transport valuables in your luggage what is it there for?  Seriously, I remember when I could have a hard suitcase with my own lock that no one else had access to. 

Now you have a bunch of thieves watching x-ray machines for cash and valuables.  They have a stamp from the government that allows them to steal from your bag and the government does nothing to prevent the thefts.  Anything they could do they discount in the name of “National Security.” 

This coming from the same agency that labels me a domestic terrorist.  Yeah, still think we need this crooked agency around?

Because when you provide people the opportunity to commit a crime, they wouldn’t do it because they’re honest hard working government employees right?

SSCC Honorable Mention–Volusia County Beach Patrol

Comments Off on SSCC Honorable Mention–Volusia County Beach Patrol

A former Volusia County Beach Patrol captain was found guilty Thursday by a jury of solicitation to commit perjury for telling a young woman to lie to authorities during an investigation of sexual activity with teen girls within the agency.

Well the good news is, he was caught, fired and convicted.  However he’s still not getting nearly the punishment he should.  It’s another instance of hiding in plain sight.

Because when you’re a cop, you can have whoever the hell you want.  The law isn’t for you, it’s for everyone else.

SSCC #245–The TSA

Hey, we’ve come back around to the same agency that started it all!

A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) worker at Miami International Airport was charged with grand theft after allegedly stealing from passengers’ bags and hiding the items in a special constructed pocket added to his uniform jacket.

Well how big of a pocket could he actually make?

A police spokesman said Pujol stowed the stolen goods in a secret jacket pocket that was big enough to conceal a laptop computer.

He got the job and manipulated the uniform just so he could steal from the public at large.  He did it with the state seal of approval too.  Yeah higher ups may get angry when he’s caught, but overall they could care less.

Because what the American public is to a TSA employee is nothing but a shopping center for free stuff.

Jason Elder, 31, pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree rape, 49 counts of third-degree sodomy and 97 counts of first-degree sexual abuse. All of the charges involved one girl, who was 14 at the time.

This is another cop who was hiding in plain sight amongst his prey.  This seems like a pretty light sentence given the severity of the crime and the number of counts.  I wonder if the judge was worried about the ex-officers safety.

Because when a predator is placed amongst children what do we expect to happen?  Doubly so when he mascaraed as a good guy.

A 49-year-old Green County man has been convicted of four felony
counts of sexual assault of a child and two felony counts of incest
involving a child placed in his home for foster care.

James M.
Norquay was working as a Wisconsin state patrolman in February when he
was charged with the crimes in Green County Circuit Court.

Another predator sitting in plain sight hiding as a good guy.  As a note, he was found guilty on all six counts, and he wasn’t just a foster parent but legally adopted the child.  It was a state investigation that caught him.  Even though he’s lost his job and is going to prison, this is still a massive fail.

Because hiding in plain sight as a good guy is the best way to get a wide victim selection.

Today we come back around to the same agency that kicked off this series.

The suspect, Harold Glen Rodman, 52, allegedly was wearing his uniform and displayed a badge to the victim, a 37-year-old woman.

Police arrested Rodman on Nov. 20. He is charged with aggravated sexual battery, object sexual penetration, forcible sodomy and
abduction with intent to defile.

So, he flashed his badge and then violated a woman. I wonder how many women he violated while being paid by the government to use that same badge.  This got filed under the ICHH as well since neighbors were shocked to hear about a neighbor facing charges.

Another rant is brewing, but I’ve covered the TSA so much I’m thumping wanting to just beat the living hell out of these people.  In the mean time keep your eyes pealed and feel free to send stuff in.

Because when the government issues you a badge and tells you to molest people, you just can’t stop.

Surprisingly the TSA has been out of the count for a while, but they came back strong today!

Two former TSA workers at JFK Airport pleaded guilty yesterday to grand larceny after they were caught swiping $40,000 from somebody’s luggage. Coumar Persad, 44, of Jackson Heights, Queens, and Davon Webb, 31, of the Bronx will each serve six months in jail for their crime, which was
perpetrated in January
after Persad X-rayed a piece of baggage headed for an American Airlines flight.

So two TSA miscreants incapable of getting any other employment see a fat wad of cash in someone’s checked luggage.  They then opened the bag which they now looked at as their personal bank and made a $40,000 withdrawal.  They didn’t completely drain their new bank account though leaving the balance at $130k.

The only reason they were busted was because one of their fellow workers reported them.  The lesson in that is to provide a kickback to your coworkers.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 159: Coumar Persad

160: Davon Webb

Because a passengers luggage is merely a personal bank account for TSA agents.  If there’s something in it they like, you’re not around to stop the theft, it’s a perfect criminal environment.

SSCC Honorable Mention – Chillicothe PD

Comments Off on SSCC Honorable Mention – Chillicothe PD

A Chillicothe police officer who retired this year has been charged with sex crimes involving a 15-year-old girl.

This one is unlike the others in the fact that this one doesn’t involve an officer being assigned to a school.  However this is yet another example of a predator looking to hide in plain view.  Even more than just hiding in plain view, they are seeking positions which will provide them a blanket of trust.

McKee served on the Chillicothe police force from 1986 until he retired on March 1. The allegations against him did not arise until after his retirement, Schmidt said. McKee also has been a minister with Liberty Hill Christian Union Church since 2009.

Not only was he a cop, but a minister too.  Both of those positions people provide a blanket amount of trust and the serious predators know it.  I wish that the world was a better place, but human nature means that some are predators, some are sheep, and some are sheep dogs.  The most dangerous predators know to appear as a sheep dog.

State Sponsored Criminal Honorable Mention: Richard Eric McKee

Because sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight.  Even better is to compound positions that will induce trust.
