During my working life, a supervisor once tested employees by leaving approx. $1,000 lying about in an area where no one was watching.  It was a trap, being monitored by camera.  I was interviewed and told that I passed.  I told the boss something like this:  You can leave $1,000 or $10,000 or even $100,000 lying around and its not worth my future to touch it.  But do not leave a million in small bills lying around where I would have the opportunity to grab it and scram to Mexico before anyone else got to work.  I'd be tempted by that.

My wife and I were staying at a Las Vegas RV Park, and we decided to go to the main hall for dinner.  While waiting in line, I looked at a slot machine offering a chance to win $1,000 in exchange for $1.  No small rewards for hitting cherries or peaches, etc.  If my total loss was $100, the amount would be the equivalent of a moderate meal in Las Vegas.  And winning $1,000 had no effect on changing my lifestyle.  Dave is right.  The temptation offered was too small.  (BTW, I don't gamble or go to casinos.)

Airport personnel says she swallowed chocolates, not dollars

Brings me to another topic.  Why are uniformed government employees eating while on the job?  If they issue regulations against it, then you have hunger as a reason for swallowing paper currency and union demand for increased pay.

Genuine question - why? Was there a problem with theft or was the supervisor creating one? 

Employees often handled small to medium amounts of cash (at that time) and they suspected some were pocketing it.  Turned out they were right and this was the easiest way to find out who.  People who will "pocket" a couple hundred here and there are not too bright.

 Makes sense in a country where corruption permeates the government.

OTS looking into possible syndicate behind missing $300 at NAIA

The Office for Transportation Security (OTS) on Friday said it was looking into a possible syndicate behind the incidents of theft at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

“That is the direction of our investigation. In fact, right now, there are still pending cases that we are investigating,” OTS administrator Ma. O Aplasca said on ANC.

“Hopefully in the next few weeks, we'll be able to finish our investigation and charge all of those responsible,” he added.

Aplasca explained that the OTS had identified several of the supposed syndicate's masterminds, but he said authorities were still gathering evidence to formally charge these individuals.

Aplasca declined to divulge the involved personalities' positions as the investigation was still ongoing.

The OTS chief said that, initially, the agency thought that the incidents of theft were just isolated cases.

“But based on the number of cases that have happened already, I think the problem is deeper than we thought as a simple issue of misconduct,” he said.

“We are looking at maybe we will now approach by way of culture change in our organization,” he added.

Since 2022, 70 personnel have been involved in theft incidents, according to Aplasca.

Recently, three OTS personnel were under investigation after a foreigner's money went missing at the NAIA.

OTS officials inspected all personnel after the passenger complained that his $300 in cash went missing on September 8.

Upon checking the CCTV footage, they saw a 28-year-old contractual employee swallowing an object. Officials are now investigating whether the item was the missing cash.

The employee said she swallowed chocolates, not the missing $300. — DVM, GMA Integrated News
