This is to warn you that not all Airport security personnel can be trusted. I am a Asian American female 42 years of age. April of 2011 I was going to Sacramento from Seattle Airport. While going through security checkpoint prior to boarding plane, I was told they wanted to put me in the body scanner, which I refused. I was told the other other option was a pat-down which I agreed to.

The pat-down took place right there in the boarding area by a female security agent. during the pat-down, another agent took my purse and walked away with it. He was out of my site for about 1 min, at which time he returned with my purse and gave it back. All went normal and I boarded the plane. On the plane, upon looking in my purse, I had $15.00 missing. I know for a fact where the money was in my purse because I made a purchase prior to boarding, and the change was $15.00 and 23 cents. The cash was taken by the security agent who searched my purse. I lodged a complaint when I reached my destination and was given a form to fill out.


Its one thing to be stealing, but we are supposed to trust Airport security people with our lives. If they spend more time working on stealing from passengers than doing there job, who knows who or what might get passed them.

so remember, when going through airport security, watch your personal items.
