Eight TSA (Transportation Security Administration) officers were fired at the Newark airport this Wednesday for sleeping on the job and or for other employment infractions.

This is the third large TSA group firing this month alone. The workers fired were seen on video sleeping in a checked baggage area at Newark Liberty International Airport.

Also this month: •Seven were fired in Philadelphia after one worker was convicted of bribery.

•Five were fired and 37 more, including the director, were suspended in Fort Myers, Fla., for not conducting additional screenings on hundreds of individuals. Last month:

•Four TSA agents were charged with drug trafficking and bribery, two of which were current and two who were former employees. The union representatives for the TSA workers; the American Federation of Government Employees, didn’t respond to any requests for further information or comment.
