Default TSA inspector busted for stealing iPads at DFW Airport

A Transportation Security Administration baggage inspector at
Dallas/Fort Worth Airport has been indicted in the theft of Apple iPads
from luggage over eight months.

Clayton Keith Dovel, 36, of Bedford was arrested Feb. 1 and has been
suspended indefinitely, officials said.

The investigation led to the recovery of eight stolen iPads, including
one that was among Dovel's possessions at Terminal E when he was
arrested, airport police said.

His attorney, Greg Westfall, declined to comment.

The indictments that the Tarrant County grand jury issued this week
charge Dovel with theft by a public servant of items valued at up to
$20,000. If convicted, he could face two to 10 years in prison.

According to airport police, a traveler reported Jan. 24 that his iPad 2
had been stolen and that he had traced it electronically to a home in
Bedford owned by Dovel.

While arresting Dovel in that case, airport police discovered another
iPad in Dovel's leather satchel. Dovel told authorities that the iPad
was his but that he couldn't remember where he bought it, according to
police reports.

Using that iPad's serial number, police traced it to a Grand Prairie man
who had reported that it was stolen as he traveled through Terminal E in
May.

In the indictment, Dovel is also accused of stealing iPads in November
and early January.

The TSA issued a statement calling the arrest part of a "zero-tolerance
policy for allegations of misconduct or theft" at the airport.

"The unacceptable behavior of this individual in no way reflects the
dedication of our nearly 50,000 Transportation Security officers who
work tirelessly to keep our skies safe," the agency said.

Dovel is free on $5,000 bail.
