A former TSA agent at Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport detailed repeated encounters with Somali men carrying suitcases packed with cash and, in one case, a bag filled with new passports.
In an interview, Liz Jaksa told journalist Liz Collin that she witnessed these incidents regularly during her five years at the airport.
“2016 to 2021, Liz, thank you for joining me,” Collin said at the start of the discussion.
“You’re welcome. Thank you. Liz, I applaud you and Alpha News,” Jaksa replied.
Collin asked Jaksa to describe what she had observed.
“We appreciate that. I have to say, though, this sounds like something out of a spy movie, people going through security and getting on planes with suitcases filled with millions of dollars in cash. Tell us what you’ve actually seen as a TSA agent during the time you worked there?”
Jaksa said large cash transfers were not isolated events.

“Well, I’ve actually seen a lot of things, but the most shocking is exactly that I saw suitcases filled with millions of dollars of cash, and the couriers were always small. He meant traveling in pairs, and they got through the checkpoint. I And it just, it just really, absolutely blew my mind. The first time you open a suitcase and you see millions of dollars of cash,” she said.
According to Jaksa, law enforcement routinely documented the couriers.
“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, but their IDs were always documented, and probably their plane tickets as well. So 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,” she said.
Collin pressed further.
“Obviously, this seems suspicious, if not alarming, given what seems to be a pattern here. 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?”
Jaksa said the pattern was consistent.
“So it certainly seemed like it happened every week, the suitcases came in. And it was, it was always the M.O. was always two Somalian men traveling in pairs. Sometimes they both had suitcases. And so the process was, as a 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 their plane ticket, I’m not sure. So there is a trail out there between that. I mean, it has to be documented somewhere. And all the cameras in the airport, I would imagine, if they’d like to find all this cash, they should start at the airport, because in the five years I was there, I believe a billion dollars went through the airport,” she said.
Collin asked about other incidents. “$1 billion as if this isn’t troubling enough. Liz, it’s not just money you watched leave. MSP, is that right?”
“Yes, that is correct,” Jaksa said.
“There was another instance, again, a Somali man that had a carry on luggage filled with brand new passports, and he was allowed to get through the checkpoint. So where he went with those passports is anybody’s guess.”
