FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A Transportation Security Administration worker is accused of stealing from the luggage of travelers at Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport Monday.
Broward Sheriff's Deputies said a Continental Airlines worker saw Nelson Santiago, 30, slip an iPad out of a suitcase and into his pants.

That worker reported the theft to his supervisor and Santiago was arrested.
Deputies said Santiago is responsible for a string of thefts over the past six months. They said he told detectives that he stole computers, GPS devices and video cameras from luggage he was screening.
He then allegedly took pictures of the stolen goods with his cell phone, and posted them for sale online.
BSO said the items would often sell by the time Santiago's shift ended.
Detectives estimate Santiago stole about $50,000 worth of electronics. So far, he was charged with two counts of grand theft and has been released on bond.
Detectives are trying to locate possible victims, though most will never recover their property.
Santiago had worked as a TSA officer since January 2009, but no longer works with the agency.
