Airport screeners fail to see most test bombs
»
By Ron Marsico NEWARK, N.J. — Screeners at Newark Liberty International Airport, one of the starting points for the Sept. 11 hijackers, failed 20 of 22 security tests conducted by undercover U.S. agents last week, missing concealed bombs and guns at checkpoints throughout the major air hub's three terminals, according to federal security officials. The tests, conducted Oct. 19 by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents, also revealed failures by screeners to follow standard operating procedures while checking passengers and their baggage for prohibited items, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Now, I don't know about you all, but what the hell is going on? George Bush, on the anniversary of the events of 9/11/2001 said that "the country is safer, but not yet safe." He got one thing right at least. I wonder how they would have done before the Dept. of Homeland Security took over everything? First FEMA blows it with Katrina and Rita, now the TSA with this, and this was only a drill. We're DOOOOOOOOMMMEEEDDD!
