TSA allows JFK passengers to walk through security checkpoint without being screened
Eleven unidentified passengers walked through a security lane without being screened at Kennedy Airport early Monday because the TSA left the area open and unattended, law enforcement sources said. A security camera captured a metal detector going off three times as the travelers walked through the screening lane, the sources said. There was no one present to operate the magnetometer, the x-ray machine and do the pat downs and secondary screening, the sources said. (www.nydailynews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Google "Richard Reid." We're very good at fighting the last battle.
This is the best part:
The TSA said it was “confident” the incident represented “no threat to the aviation transportation system.”
“TSA works with a network of security layers both seen and unseen,” the statement said.

And there was no ill effect...I'll be...TSA is the biggest waste of tax dollars in the United States history.
I'd humbly add our welfare system, federal dept's of education and energy to the list of biggest waste of tax dollars in US history as well.
You know the Department of Energy is responsible for maintaining the US nuclear weapons program, right? If not, then you're qualified to run the department!
Makes you feel all warm inside knowing those layers of security are hard at work. All I see is some TSA CYA.
I liked:
“Once our review is complete, TSA will discipline and retrain the employees as appropriate.”
What employees? There was nobody there to discipline.

I had to laugh out loud when I read this. Almost nowhere in the world do you have to take off your shows to get through security... To me the opposite is amazing: all passengers have to take off their shoes to get through security.
