Investigation: Undercover agents snuck fake explosives, banned weapons past TSA. Perhaps the TSA should do what McDonald’s is doing and get robots.
Homeland Security officials confirmed to Fox News that TSA screeners failed 67 out of 70 tests — or 96 percent — carried out by special investigators known as “red teams.”

They can't find a fake bomb, but make me take off my belt because it set off the metal detector.
Figure this one out. Now that I have a pacemaker I don't go through the metal detector, but they still make me take off my shoes, belt, jacket, etc., even though I just do the pervert x-ray.
They have a pre-check now, if you have that you don't have to take off shit other than putting your carry-on through the xray (don't even need to take the computer out). Then you still get the pervert x-ray.
I had the pre check when I flew to Vegas a couple of weeks ago. That is where I had to take my belt off, because of the metal detector.
I don't fly much (thank God). Frankly, I was on a flight full of Hindus last time. I don't really mind them except evidently many of them never heard of deodorant, which is not good when you can't open a window. Worse than the TSA...lol
They are the rejected want a be's from any police department. They couldn't get in or cut it. So they migrated over to the TSA where they think they can be super trooper, robo cop and Sheriff Matt Dillion all rolled into one.
I don't think most of these blue shirted morons would qualify as a mall security guard. And they are pretty lax in who they hire.
No surprise to me. TSA is a joke and airport security is just window dressing. They have several vehicle access gates at SAT that aren't manned. You need a badge to open the gate, but that's all. I could pull an artillery piece through one of these gates and blow up several planes and the control tower before anyone figured out what was going on.
A letter was sent out to us stating that starting today, they will be conducting random pat downs at these gates. I'm off today, but predict I'm going to airport jail tomorrow. I'm pretty sure they can't just randomly pat people down without probable cause. I will challenge these stooges. If they can show me documentation that permits them to touch me, fine. But I'm gonna start humping air and moaning like a whore the minute they touch my junk. Then I'm gonna grab the agent by the crotch and kiss the mother fker.
They still got 4 out of a 100 and that ain't bad for a multi-billion dollar unionized government bureaucracy.
If the explosive had been penis shaped, or down the diaper of a child or a granny, or in the breast area of a well endowed woman, they would have been 100 for 100
