In reply to the discussion: Losing money? You aren't alone. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's bag, including $3,000 in cash, is stolen from DC restaurant. [View all]meadowlander
(5,112 posts)43. My theory is her personal phone was stolen as well and she is too embarrassed to admit it
because of all the current scandals about Signal chats.
So she is converting the value of her phone into "cash".
$3000 isn't enough for a payoff. It could be an insurance scam but she makes $250K so presumably she would have better things to do with her time. The only other plausible explanation for me is she was buying drugs.

OP
Yeah, who carries $3k cash? Has nose candy inflation been really bad in DC? Oh, maybe Easter egg money.

Anybody who carries their whole life in one bag like that shouldn't be in charge of any kind of security.

It wasn't a brown immigrant, apparently, you know, the ones who commit all the crimes.

Now doesn't that fit with the state of our national security under the TSF regime?
