A former TSA agent has admitted helping a man accused of running a drug ring repeatedly evade security and smuggle money through the Buffalo Niagara Airport.
Minetta Walker, 43, confessed that she helped the man get around airport security scanners and had warned two of his associates that agents were tailing them.
The behavioural detection officer for the Transportation Safety Administration was caught directing travellers she appeared to know away from security checks.
She would steer them away from security lines where body image scanners or pat-downs might detect large sums of cash and escort them to their gates to they would not be pulled aside for random inspections, it was claimed.
Walker was arrested in March. On Friday, in federal court she admitted helping Derek Frank, who is also charged and accused of running a drug operation, of avoiding security checks.
