While this was a bad move on the TSA Agents’ part, and I’m glad it’s being taken care of, the passenger who was traveling with cash in a briefcase should have been interrogated. If I saw a passenger traveling with such immense amounts of cash in a briefcase, I would think it suspicious. Jonathon, does anyone know why the passenger from whom the money was stolen was traveling with so much cash?
The person that was traveling with the money asked to remain anonymous in all ways; so for this reason we do not know why he was carrying this amount of cash or what he was doing with it. In the article I placed below you can find more details like the passenger the money was stolen from was actually carrying $170,000 in his bag.
Here is a link to a better article with more details. You will have to copy and paste this into your browser I can’t hyper-link this link in a response.

Even though the TSA agents were punished, I think they should have gotten more time in jail. What if because they see that they didn’t get a longer sentence they get off of probation and do it again?
