This needs to be a heads up to everyone. When you are being checked at security, they are supposed to have you stand so that you can watch your items at all times. Instead of having you turn around during the check, they are supposed to walk around you. If someone walked off with your purse, that's the time to ask them where they are going.
And it's not that the TSA hires thieves, but just like any organization, there are going to be bad apples get through. Generally thefts at the airport (stealing form bags or a case like this) is a crime of opportunity. They don't go get a job at the airport with the intent to be a thief. They get there and find some opportunity to do so.
In the mean time you need to call the TSA and report this at 866-289-9673. They can go back and review the tapes and can see him walk off with your purse. Even if they have no proof that he actually took anything, he is still in violation of procedure.
