Raiders TE Jared Cook Says TSA Stole from His Luggage, Blames Shutdown

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook said Wednesday that items were stolen from his luggage by TSA agents at the airport.

In an interview with Vegas Sports Daily (h/t TMZ Sports), Cook alleged that some things came up missing from his bag, saying, "The great folks at TSA went through my bag and stole my shoes and some of my clothes."

Cook attributed the alleged theft to the government shutdown, which has forced TSA employees to work without pay: "I guess when you're forced to find work or find money to come in from somewhere for your family, you take it out on the people that you serve.
