Labarrius Williams and Josue Gonzalez were on duty in late June and early July when they were caught on camera scoping out bags being scanned and snatching money from carry-ons, TMZ reports.
According to a police affidavit, the TSA agents snatched money from bags on a conveyor belt on two separate occasions.

“I think they have a lot of nerve because don’t they realize they’re on camera?” passenger David Caban told CBS News. “These are places that are monitored so much. What are they thinking?”
Former Miami-Dade Police Major Ignacio Alvarez shared his process for protecting his valuables while traveling.
“Before I reach the security area, I take off my watch, my ring, my wallet and put it inside my bag and I never lose sight of my bag,” said Alvarez, according to CBS News.
“After I clear security I go through my bag and get everything back out. I get my wallet, I get my watch, I get my phone, I get my cash and put it back in my pocket to make sure nothing is missing,” he added.
In July, Williams and Josue Gonzalez, along with Elizabeth Fuster — another TSA employee — were arrested and charged with grand theft.
Fuster was initially accused of stealing $600 from a passenger’s wallet, but the case was dismissed.
