To deter theft, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) should consider requiring airport security personnel to wear body cameras as they give passengers a pat-down or check their luggage. A lawmaker made the drastic suggestion following recent complaints of theft that again tainted the image of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia). Deputy Speaker Ralph Recto made the call after a Naia security screening officer was arrested for stealing a foreigner's watch. The incident was the second theft to be reported in February, the first involving a female security screening officer who was caught on video taking 20,000 yen in cash from a foreigner.
