Stealing from Indian women is universal ? | The Imagined Universe: "In the past, I’ve written about theft from passengers’ bags by baggage handlers in Indian airports, and the mysterious chalk marks used by customs officials to mark certain bags for special treatment.
Little did I know that singling out NRIs for stealing from their bags is an international practice. According to this news article, Michael Arato, a TSA official in Newark airport was found guilty of stealing cash and other valuables from travelers. Apparently, Arato and his subordinate would steal the cash from bags during X-ray screening, and sometimes subject their intended victims’ carry on bags for additional screening so they could pocket the cash."
