TSA Screeners Miss 75% of Bombs and Explosives

Old News..."WASHINGTON — Security screeners at two of the nation's busiest airports failed to find fake bombs hidden on undercover agents posing as passengers in more than 60% of tests last year, according to a classified report obtained by USA TODAY." [YT]

I'm happy to report that the TSA screeners successfully identified and confiscated my toothpaste on my way out of Phoenix's Sky Harbor airport. It slipped right past the screeners on my way in from Denver. Suckers!

From the looks of the object in this video, the TSA should ban all tampons. That's fine; just leave my Crest Sensitivity® toothpaste alone.

I'm all for security and safety, but it bugs me how some of these guys just go off the wall sometimes with their power trips.

But this just shows that you can never protect us from everything...so strip away security and all you have left is a power trip.

In all honesty, though, I'd really wish these tests weren't broadcast. The simple fact that they're there could be a deterrent for some would be terrorists. Well maybe. I guess if you're that hardcore you wouldn't give a shit. And MAYBE if America stops acting like a bunch of baby-punching assholes, we wouldn't have to beef up security.

The excuse that TSA spokesperson used was bullshit. They're PAID to find these things! If you don't have the proper training or it's "too hard" you should GET the proper training or get someone who HAS the proper training!
