70 LBs of coke left by Jet Blue Flight attendant

Authorities are looking for a flight attendant who fled Los Angeles International Airport without shoes Friday night after being subject to a random search that turned up about 70 pounds of cocaine in two carry-on roller bags, authorities told NBC News.
The flight attendant, like other crew members, is not normally subjected to searches. But just after 7 p.m. Friday, the unidentified JetBlue flight attendant was pulled aside by TSA officers for a random screening in Terminal 4, law enforcement sources familiar with the incident said.

The woman, who was not identified, appeared nervous and made a cellphone call in a language not recognized by officers, authorities told NBC News. She was then taken aside to a secondary screening area and was asked for her employee identification.
Suddenly, the woman bolted from the screening location, running with her bags toward an escalator. After a short distance she jettisoned the luggage and her Gucci shoes, exiting the terminal. It was not immediately clear which flight she was set to board.

The incident, which is being investigated by Los Angeles Airport Police, LAPD and the Drug Enforcement Administration, was captured on video, which was not immediately released. The drugs have been booked into evidence.
DEA spokesman Timothy Massino said the woman faces felony drug charges.

Makes you wonder how much blow this lady moved since she had never been searched before. Also, how does someone take off running from one of the largest airports and get away when already that deep in security.

Jet Blue is a higher end airline. Most airlines won't even give you a drink these days.

It might be a woman named Jackie that lives across 110th street.

So a woman took off running with no shoes on, in the middle of an airport, and NOBODY catches her? She makes a clean getaway?

Bang-up job, TSA.

You've met the TSA I presume? This comes as no surprise.

They pay these airport screeners an average of $17 an hour. You get what you pay for.

Depending on who the coke actually belongs to, she may be better off being caught by the cops

I apologize to the younger population that has no clue what I'm talking about

Only $2 above a NY burger flipper? If I am a TSA person, I will demand at least $30 an hour.

She'll be fine. Props to her for getting away.

I can't believe that isn't the focus of this story.

Wait, now we're saying that for 17 ****ing dollars an hour?

$17 bucks an hour probably has to be supplemented with some oral or anal revenue.
