TSA Agent Observed Somalis Carrying Millions of Dollars in Suitcases Heading Overseas

A TSA Agent observed Somalis carrying millions of dollars in suitcases at airport checkpoints. 

A former TSA Agent claims that Somolis transported millions in cash through airports during her time as an agent.  She saw the money herself.  She also notes that there are paper trails and videos of this trafficking.

This might account for where the estimated $9 billion stolen in Minnesota’s sprawling social-services scam, orchestrated mainly by members of its Somali community, went.  This $9 billion is nearly equivalent to the entire economy of Somalia.

The amount stolen accounts for roughly half of the $18 billion in total federal funds provided to the Minnesota-run services since 2018, as Democratic Gov. Tim Walz continues to take heat for his handling of the debacle.

By comparison to the $9 billion figure, Somalia’s entire GDP was under $12 billion in 2024, according to the World Bank.

In an interview with Liz Collin at Alpha News, a former TSA Agent says that, in hindsight, the suitcases filled with millions of dollars in cash seem like an obvious connection to the estimated billions of dollars in fraud.

While traveling with large amounts of money is not illegal, as long as it’s documented, she also explains how much money she saw, how law enforcement officers were contacted, and how little was done about it.

I saw suitcases filled with millions of dollars of cash and the couriers were always small men traveling in pairs and they got through the checkpoint.

And it just really absolutely blew my mind. The first time you open a suitcase, and you see millions of dollars of cash, and typically, what would happen is a LEO or a law enforcement officer would come check their credentials.

I don’t know what kind of questions they asked them, but their IDs were always documented, and probably their plane tickets as well. So, there is a trail of that out there. And I would believe with all the cameras at the airport that if they started there, they could probably find each and every individual that brought money through the checkpoint. Obviously, this seems suspicious, if not alarming, given what seems to be a pattern here.

(Collins) So, you’re talking about millions of dollars flying out of Minneapolis, and you think it happened about every week or so. Is that right?

So, it certainly seemed like it happened every week. The suitcases came in and the MO was always two Smallian men traveling in pairs. Um, sometimes they both had suitcases, so the process was as a TSA agent, we would pull the bag and then we’d bring them to a private screening room and we would open the suitcase and make sure that that’s all it was was – stacks of cash.

And a Leo would come and maybe question them and for sure take a picture of their identification, and I’m assuming their plane ticket. I’m not sure.

So, there is a trail out there. Um, between that, I mean, there has to be documented somewhere, and all the cameras in the airport. I would imagine that if they wanted to find all this cash, they could.
