Ensuring that airport workers are trustworthy is essential to keeping passengers safe. However. at times the security badges that permit individuals to work behind the scenes at airports have been issued to individuals who have no business holding them. Right now in the United States individuals with convictions for crimes. including embezzlement. sabotage. racketeering. immigration violations. and assault with a deadly weapon can all obtain security badges granting them access to restricted sections of an airport. While most criminals are not terrorists. there are too many criminals who. for the right price. would happily expand their criminal activities even if it involved assisting terrorists. In fact. in March of this year. an airline ramp agent was arrested in a Florida airport with $282.400 in cash that he allegedly intended to hand off to an unknown individual.
