Yes, I meant X Ray machine. If the walk-throughs had imaging, that might be a tad embarrasing for some! (I hear that they want to introduce walk-through X-Rays, and the plan was for there to be a remote operator to avoid humiliation)

How's that for a good TSA story.

-LAFF
This show's you the intelligence level of the TSA crew's. April Fools jokes are only funny when you do it to someone you know. They are such douche-bags!!!!

This sums it up, good job TSA, failing at everything except taking more tax-dollars!!! Few key excerpts I found interesting.

"Sources told 9NEWS the Red Team was able to sneak about 90 percent of simulated weapons past checkpoint screeners in Denver. In the baggage area, screeners caught one explosive device that was packed in a suitcase. However later, screeners in the baggage area missed a book bomb, according to sources."

"However, tests done by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General and the U.S. Government Accountability Office in 2006 found widespread failures. According to the GAO, screeners at 15 airports missed 90 percent of the explosives and guns agents tried to sneak past checkpoints"

"The last thing TSA wants to do is look bad in front of congress and in front of the public, so rather than fix the problem, they'd rather just keep them quiet," said Dzakovic.
