Baggage Handler Charged With Stealing Freshly Printed Money At PHL
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A US Airways baggage handler from southwest Philadelphia is facing federal theft charges for allegedly taking two stacks of brand new $100 bills totaling $20,000 from a plane that was unloaded at Philadelphia International Airport nearly two weeks ago.
Federal authorities say Alex Price, 25, was initially
questioned by investigators on October 11, the day the cash went missing after it was loaded into an armored truck from a US Airways flight at Philadelphia International.
When the truck got to its destination at the Federal Reserve in East Rutherford, N.J. that afternoon, guards reported one of the packages was torn open and $20,000 was missing.

Big deal, it’s $20,000 in Obama Bucks. What’s that, about $200 in real money?

You can bet this was not the first time Mr. Price supplemented his union paycheck, only thing is he got greedy, should have stuck to passengers checked baggage.

Democrat politician in training. Of course he fails, because he admitted his crime.

It’s good to see Ben Franklin’sface still on a hundred rather than zeros, but the rest of the bill looks like zimbabwe money.

Maybe it’s time to shift TSA from harassing innocents to keeping an eye on airport/airline employees. Time to make Profiling the law of the land, let professionals pluck threats out of security lines. Works in Israel.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This story is fucking awesome!!!!!!!!
The TSA treated a foriegn bank EXACTLY like the peons get treated every goddamn day by this fake gubbermint agency.
I hope the curriers got a good ball-grabbing and anal probe while their bennie-bucks went missing…..that’s the icing on the cake!

Fool should have stuck with robbing the peons… The government doesn’ t like when you steal their stolen money!
All those TSA people can steal all they want from us though. It is called ” redistributing the wealth”.

I just want to know if it already had coke residue on it like 100% of the money in circulation.

Dadof3, these were brand-new hot-off-the-press NextGen $100 bills, that were SUPPOSED to be released in March of ’09. Doubt if they’d have any coke on them.
