Just Kidding...............
But one wonders just what lax level of security the Fed must have to allow a "significant" amount of money in the form of crisp new next-generation $100 bills to be transported on a plane thru Philly, only to discover at its final destination in NJ that the shipment has been "opened" and a large amount of bills "missing"!
Sounds like either an inside job, a pilot/crew member with sticky fingers, or D.B. Cooper has returned!
Maybe the courier service was the same one which "lost" some TD Ameritrade customer data tapes in transit.....

Sound more like it had something to do with this courier service than the airport possibly.If there was that much money all in C notes , why wasn't it someones job to make sure it got there safely?

<< <i>Could we possibly see these in circulation before their release date now? This part of the story should not have been released to the general public. However, The government could state the date that they are going to release them, then hold off a month or so and hope that some show up somewhere before the actual release date. They should alert banks to watch for them pre-release. They could be easily laundered at a casino if the machinery is ready to accept them.

I agree this story should never have been released,it certainly gives the inside job theory a boost.It seems insane to warn the culprit not to spend them til next year.

It sure wouldn't be the first time.

Police have arrested a baggage handler who allegedly stole $20,000 in U.S. currency from an airplane transporting money to the United States Federal Reserve.
Sources tell NBC10 $96 million was on its way from Dallas to the Federal Reserve Building in East Rutherford, N.J., back on Oct. 11. When it arrived at Philadelphia International Airport, $20,000 worth of $100 bills were missing.
The heist wasn't discovered until the packages of cash were being unloaded off a Dunbar armored car for inventory. That's when officials saw one package had been opened.
"The money was taken sometime between the flight landing at Philadelphia International Airport and the arrival at the Federal Reserve facility in East Rutherford, N.J.," said FBI special agent John Cosenza.
The stolen bills are brand new and aren't scheduled to be put into circulation until next year. They're very distinctive, with an orange "100" and an orange image that's supposed to be the Liberty Bell.
On Tuesday, officials announced Alex Price, 25, was arrested and charged for the currency theft.
Investigators say Price was one of the many baggage handlers they interviewed the day of the theft. When he was initially interviewed, Price claimed he didn't see anyone take anything from the airplane without permission, according to police.
Price was interviewed a second time on Oct. 17 where he claimed he was the only baggage handler who had direct access to the stolen currency, according to investigators. Investigators say Price denied any involvement in the theft and was even willing to undergo a polygraph examination to prove his innocence.
On Tuesday, around 9:30 a.m., an FBI agent picked up Price and took him to Philadelphia FBI headquarters where he underwent the polygraph exam. At the end of the exam, police say Price confessed to stealing $20,000 of Federal Reserve currency from the flight. He also claimed the stolen money was hidden in a Nissan Maxima that he owned, according to investigators.
Police say Price led FBI agents to his vehicle. The agents searched the Maxima and recovered a string bag containing the stolen U.S. currency, according to investigators. Price was arrested and charged with theft from interstate shipment.

Do you mean the theft itself or instead the idiocy of volunteering to take a polygraph and then confessing?
