A TSA official arrested by US Customs and Border Protection

Don't let her smile fool you--she's probably going to the slammer

A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) official, Maxine McManaman, has been arrested on an outstanding warrant, local media reports. 

McManaman an Assistant Federal Security Director, was arrested in Atlanta by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on December 28. The warrant for her arrest was posted by the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office. It claimed that McManaman and an alleged complice, Delroy Chambers Sr., exploited a relative suffering from dementia by falsifying documents in their name, according to Port St. Lucie Police.

According to Florida authorities, the pair forged signatures on a quitclaim deed transferring ownership of property in the relative's name over to themselves. That's also known as stealing and in most places, especially those run by Republicans, is a crime.

The person with dementia [not Joe Biden, this time] who was the target in the illegal operation, was found to be in Atlanta on the date listed and could not have signed the quitclaim.

McManaman's partner, Chambers was previously arrested on Dec. 20 in Port St. Lucie, charged with two counts of exploitation of an elderly or disabled adult, simple neglect and two counts of forgery. He eventually bonded out of jail.

McManaman is facing a third-degree felony charge of forgery, which is similar to Harvard president Gay's plagiarism, except it's about copying money.

She was reportedly apprehended after landing in Atlanta on an international flight.

McManaman had been an employee of the TSA since November 2002 and held a management-level position at the airport, according to local reports. She has been placed on leave pending a law enforcement investigation and is being held at Clayton County Jail in Jonesboro, Georgia.
