(May 24, 2006)--A San Antonio television station reports it has found that hundreds of federal airport security badges and uniform items are missing.
WOAI TV in San Antonio cites documents obtained from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration under the federal Freedom of Information Act.
It reports the records document that more than 1,400 TSA employee ID badges and uniform items have been reported lost or stolen since 2003.
Los Angeles had the most reports of missing ID badges with 120.
