BOSTON -- A Lynn couple was accused of selling the identities of at least 16 Transportation Security Administration workers at Logan International Airport.

Police said the ID data was allegedly taken by a female TSA contract worker who is related to one of the two Lynn suspects.

A TSA spokesman said the agency takes the ID theft very seriously.

"TSA can assure the traveling public the release of this information does not compromise aviation security," TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis said.

TSA said the agency is helping workers obtain free credit reports so they can ensure their personal information remains secure, Davis said.
