Jim Schoettler writes on Jacksonville.com:

Three baggage handlers and a federally employed baggage screener have been arrested and charged in a series of thefts from fliers’ luggage, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced this afternoon [7 December 2007].

Indictments charging the men with theft were unsealed today. They are accused of stealing laptop computers, computer software and other computer-related supplies. The thefts occurred in October and November.

Charged were Craig Hannan, 34, of Kingsland, Ga., and Jacksonville residents Evedge Moore, 21, Quintin Davis, 25, and Racardi Lamar, 18. Hannan was a screener for the Transportation Security Administration, while the other men were employed by a private service that handles baggage.

The thefts were from baggage sent through Continental, Delta and United Airlines.
