TSA sources tell the KDKA Investigators that the officers were fired or suspended Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

Of the 311 local TSA workers, five were fired, and 47 were suspended.<\/p>\n

TSA sources say they just finished a two-month investigation into the office betting. The investigation found that TSA officers at the airport had an office betting pool, and officers were betting on everything from Nascar, to the NCAA, even football.<\/p>\n

Homeland Security says all of the workers accused of sports gambling at the airport were in uniform at the time, but says public safety and security was never at risk.<\/p>\n

The investigation determined that no criminal laws were broken, and the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office has turned down the case for criminal prosecution.<\/p>\n

In a statement to KDKA, the TSA says, \u201cTSA holds all of its employees to the highest standards of conduct and accountability. The agency has taken the appropriate and necessary steps to discipline those involved to include employment terminations, suspensions or letters of reprimand.\u201d<\/p>\n
