Owayesakuba ngumsebenzi we-Delta Air Lines kunye namagosa amabini okhuseleko e-TSA bobabini bazivumile izityholo zokuba babandakanyeka ekuthutyeleni iziyobisi.
Ngokwezityholo ezihlawuliswa aba basebenzi bathathu babesakuba ngabasebenzi beshishini leenqwelomoya, babandakanyeka kumsebenzi wokuthubelezisa iheroine kunye necocaine esekelwe kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sase-Atlanta eHarstfield-Jackson.
UJon Patton, u-Andre Mays kunye no-Leslie Adgar (owayekade eyi-Delta Air Lines) bonke bahlawuliswa ngaphambili namhlanje. I-US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) yadibana nokusebenza kweziyobisi xa i-arhente eyimfihlo yathunyelwa kwi-broker isivumelwano kunye noPatton. Ngexesha lokudibana, uPatton wahlawulisa i-5,000 yeedola ukuthutha ikhilogram ye-cocaine kunye neekhilogram ezimbini zechiza emva koko zathwalwa ukhuseleko oludlulileyo kunye nenqwelomoya ye-Delta Air Lines.
I-DEA isebenzise icocaine eyenziweyo ukuze ibize abasebenzi abathathu. UPatton noMays, besazi kakuhle ukuba yintoni na ekwimpahla, bayithatha, ngokwesikhundla sabo njengabasebenzi beTSA. U-Adgar ke wayemele alinde ukufika kweziyobisi eNew York, apho wayeza kuqokelela iphakheji.
Bobabini u-Adgar kunye noPatton bagqiba ekubeni bathethe ityala ekuhanjisweni okucwangcisiweyo kwe-cocaine kunye ne-heroine kwaye ngoku bajongene naphi na ukusuka kwiminyaka eyi-10 ukuya ebomini entolongweni. UMays, nangona kunjalo, akazukujongana nanyaka omnye entolongweni, njengoko wayetyholwa ngesenzo esigwenxa sokugqitha ukhuseleko kwaye ke wangena kwindawo yomoya kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ngokungekho mthethweni. Abaqeshwa abathathu kwishishini leenqwelomoya kulindeleke ukuba bagwetywe ngoSeptemba.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- During this encounter, Patton charged $5,000 to transport a kilogram of cocaine and two kilos of the drug were then carried past security and onto a Delta Air Lines flight.
- Mays, however, will likely face no more than one year in prison, as he was charged with the misdemeanour of bypassing security screening and thus entering the airside of the airport illegally.
- According to the charges levied against the three former airline industry employees, they were involved in a heroine and cocaine smuggling operation based on Atlanta's Harstfield-Jackson Airport.
