$1.5 Million Worth of iPad Mini Units Stolen From JFK
Thousands of tablets stolen by thieves.
New York's biggest airport has been the subject of a large robbery; $1.5 million worth of iPad Mini units that arrived from Apple's manufacturing partner Foxconn from China were stolen.
Thieves managed to steal thousands of iPad Minis from a building within JFK airport. Police said they somehow gained access to the cargo storage area during Monday night. The crooks then utilized an airport forklift to load two pallets containing around 3,600 tablets into a truck.
According to the New York Post, the criminals could have stolen well over $2 million worth of iPad Mini units; when an airport worker returned from a break, three pallets containing the tablet were left as they escaped.
The iPad Mini units had just arrived from China for distribution throughout the United States. The police said they have no leads in regards to who the suspects are or where they fled to.

I don't want to say compliment the criminals... but they pulled off an impressive job.
... they were bandits disguised as security guards... [ta-ta-tāāāāāāā!!!]
"Terrorist" are so overhyped....
If the US's power projection wasn't so obvious and aggressive, there wouldn't be that many "terrorist"
You get more (drugs or others) smugglers going through airports than "terrorist".
As far as I'm concerned, "terrorist" is just an excuse for Big Brother to impose fascism.
A good example would be London with all those CCTVs around.....one in ever corner.
Insurance covers it. As far as Apple goes 3,600 iPad minis where just sold :-)
Can't wait until they come out with a 12" version; the MaxiPad. Perfect for heavier workloads.
They have GPS in 'em. Couldn't they be traced the moment they get turned on ?
I disagree with the whole "security is over rated" concept. Althou, Yes.. Lots of smuggling drugs etc and terrorism on the whole is probably highly overrated. With that being said.. Security is actually very good in our country and we should be thankful for it. One prime example is look what happens when no rules apply and there is no security. Hurricane Katrina? What happened.. Looting, Murder, Rape, things went CRAZY! Same thing with hurricane Sandy, Soon as there was less presence of order. Instantly people are stealing crap, etc etc. Only takes a moment of opportunity for people to show their true colors.
As much as i may dislike authority figures. They are necessary and keep a balance. Without them it would be chaos.
Then again, it gave him another reason to post an article on Apple.... Hmmmm... could you be the mastermind behind this heist?? O_O
That's because you are dumb American, that's why!
