Of course, this also makes me wonder just how on earth a TSA agent is able to leave the sterile area of his or her local airport with a $47,900 camera hidden in their bag. We passengers get screened, so perhaps it is time to start screening TSA staff when they enter and leave the airport?
Leaving a sterile area isn't the problem. Getting in is the security concern. If a bag is screened and a camera found, it's not a prohibited item...of course someone leaving can have their camera. Who's to prove it isn't theirs?
