TSA: Consistant as Usual

Loaded Guns On Planes “Not A TSA Issue”

quote:

In the latest scandal to rock the perpetually inept Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a loaded gun slipped through “security” at a major U.S. airport and the agency claims there was no system breakdown because it was not its duty to intercept the weapon....

...A few months ago a federal report blasted a $212 million TSA screening program, known as Passenger by Observation Techniques (SPOT), that promised to detect terrorists at U.S. airports. Instead the TSA’s highly specialized Behavior Detection Officers failed to stop terrorists from boarding planes on at least 23 occasions, according to congressional investigators who conducted the probe.

Well, at least they are consistent in their lack of ability to actually stop the threat. So the next time you are getting felt up by a TSA agent, remember that with this agency handling security, Americans who fly are consistently screwed.
