TSA fails internal test, lets fake bombs through

[gipper]

Big government is so effective...

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) failed to find fake explosives and weapons in internal tests at almost all of America's busiest airports, according to a Monday report from ABC news.

TSA employees failed 67 of 70 tests, where undercover agents tried to pass through security while carrying fake prohibited items. The news prompted Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to meet with officials at TSA headquarters last week, according to the network.

“Upon learning the initial findings of the Office of Inspector General's report, Secretary Johnson immediately directed TSA to implement a series of actions, several of which are now in place, to address the issues raised in the report,” the agency told ABC in a statement. The statement did not identify those fixes.

At least one test showed failures by agents to find a fake bomb even after the undercover agent set off a magnetometer. The screener reportedly let the agent through with the fake bomb taped to his back, despite a pat down.

We should get rid of the TSA. It is a total failure.

You expected something different, in a department whose primary criteria for front-line service is skin color?
