Female Flight Attendant Abandons 66 lbs Of Cocaine During Random Security Check

An airline employee who abandoned nearly 70 pounds of cocaine in her carry-on bag at LAX was being sought by federal drug agents.

The woman was selected for a random screening at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, according to the DEA.

During the encounter with Transportation Security Administration members, the airline employee “abandoned her belongings and escaped on foot,” DEA spokesman Timothy Massino said in a statement.

A search of her belongings turned up about 30 kg of cocaine (or about 66 pounds).

The female airline employee was considered a fugitive, Massino told KTLA news.

He would not say what position the woman held with an airline, nor did he name the airline.

In light of the incident, the union for Los Angeles airport police officers issued a statement calling for screening of all passengers and employees.

“Flight attendants and other crew members are not normally subjected to searches, but this is a perfect example of why Los Angeles airports need 100% screening of all passengers and airport employees. Total employee screening is realistic and achievable and it should happen here at LAX.”

Two carry-on roller bags were abandoned by a flight attendant at the terminal, the Los Angeles Airport Peace Officers’ Association stated.

Witnesses said that after being directed to the screening location, the woman kicked off her Gucci high heels, made a cellphone call and made a quick dash down the up escalator.

Marshall McClain, president of the union representing LAX airport police officers expressed concern that officers were alerted about the unattended bag but not a suspicious person running through the airport.

“With her bringing this amount of narcotics in the airport, chances are this wasn’t her first time through. We’re hoping this is a wake-up call to airport management as well as federal legislators.”

‘Elephant Man Bandit’ Sentenced After Stealing $73,628 In 30 Bank Robberies

Anthony Hathaway was first known as the Cyborg Bandit because of the metallic fabric he used to cover his face during heists, then he began draping a shirt over his head and was dubbed the Elephant Man Bandit

Anthony Leonard Hathaway was old school. He dressed up, donned a pair of gloves and personally went door to door for his money. Two-and-a-half-dozen bank doors to be exact.

When the 46-year-old unemployed Everett, Wash., man went off to prison the other day, he ended what officials think may be a Northwest record for bank-robbing frequency: 30 holdups in a 1-year, 6-day span with a tax-free take of $73,628. That’s roughly two to three heists every month averaging around $2,450. At that rate, said the FBI’s Seattle Safe Streets Task Force, “he might top the list for sheer number of robberies in a one-year period.”

The FBI considers Carl Gugasian of Pennsylvania as the most prolific bank robber ever. Currently serving a 17-year-sentence, he robbed more than 50 banks, the agency said, making off with $2 million. But it took him 30 years.
