Airport employees are bing bribed to use their credentials to make exchanges in sterile airport areas. This is not the only one authorities have caught.
Jean Yves Selius, a Delta Air Lines ramp agent, was being paid up to $1,000 to give the backpack to an unknown person in a bathroom inside the airport's sterile area, the complaint said. He'd allegedly done such drop-offs before for about a year, earning close to $4,000 for his work. He faces a single charge of illegal money transmitting.

4 grand for how many drop offs prior, totaling how much? Only to get busted for dropping off 282k this time around - doesn't seem like a very fair risk to reward ratio. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes?

He has been doing it a year at 1,000 per. My guess is the 4,000 number is just what they know of.

I am glad that Delta employee was captured and apprehended CPT (Join to see)
It is a scary thought for agents of the airlines to be accepting bribes to allow things to get through or pass things on to whomever.

I spent 3 years working a narcotics task force assigned to transportation hubs (airports, bus stations, and train stations). The biggest security issue at any airport are the employees. It was that way prior to 2001 and its still that way today. So while passengers are removing their shoes, airport and airline employees are walking in and out with contraband without being searched at all. Its the biggest joke of our current system.
