Over an eight-month period, two colleagues said they watched with incredulity and shock as Bouffard directed passengers to walk through airport X-ray screening and metal detector machines before he then snatched coins and wallets from the bins when their backs were turned.
In seconds, he'd grab $20 bills and other cash and stuff it all into his pockets. Then, he'd calmly push the bins through the X-ray machine, even as surveillance cameras rolled above him.
A QMI Agency investigation found that Bouffard may have robbed hundreds - possibly thousands - of unwitting travellers in Montreal in 2001 and 2002.
Bouffard later told authorities that other screeners also robbed passengers.
Oversight was so lax, Bouffard said, he and other rogue screeners didn’t bother to hide their thefts from security cameras. A Quebec Public Security department official, after interviews with police and others, wrote a pre-sentencing report backing his claims.
