John Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 then read this.http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local-beat/TSA-Agent-Slips-Through-DFW-Body-Scanner-With-a-Gun-116497568.htmlAn undercover TSA agent was able to get through security at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport with a handgun during testing of the enhanced-imaging body scanners, according to a high-ranking, inside source at the Transportation Security Administration.The source said the undercover agent carried a pistol in her undergarments when she put the body scanners to the test. The officer successfully made it through the airport's body scanners every time she tried, the source said."In this case, where they had a test, and it was just a dismal failure as I'm told," said Larry Wansley, former head of security at American Airlines. "As I've heard (it), you got a problem, especially with a fire arm."Wansley said covert testing by the TSA is commonplace -- although failing should be rare.The TSA insider who blew the whistle on the test also said that none of the TSA agents who failed to spot the gun on the scanned image were disciplined. The source said the agents continue to work the body scanners today.Wansley said that is a problem. "This was only a test, but it's critically important that you do something, because if that person failed in the real environment, then you have a problem," he said.The TSA did not deny that the tests took place or the what the results were.The agency would only provide the following statement:"Our security officers are one of the most heavily tested federal workforces in the nation. We regularly test our officers in a variety of ways to ensure the effectiveness of our technology, security measures and the overall layered system. For security reasons, we do not publicize or comment on the results of covert tests, however advanced imaging technology is an effective tool to detect both metallic and nonmetallic items hidden on passengers."TSA agents who spoke to a reporter agreed that the body-imaging scanners are effective -- but only if the officers monitoring them are paying attention.First Published: Feb 18, 2011 3:33 PM CSTi guess on the plus side, this means that no one is actually looking at the scans of my naked body.

AndyJ Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) It's called Security Theater - designed to give sheeple the illusion of being 100% safe at all times, while letting worthless congress F^&ks say "We DID something". So while someone's getting their junk violated, felons who are now TSA 'Security' agents are stealing from passengers, vandalizing airplanes during 'security checks' (Federal offense unless you're the TSA) and random kids can still get onto the ramp and smuggle themselves into the landing gear wells. So yeah, the ones doing the screening are in more need of screening than the ones getting their junk grabbed. Nice, huh?Meanwhile, Ryder trucks remain the most cost-effective terrorist weapon on US soil.a friend of mine just flew out to Colorado and forgot she had one of those mase things on her keys in her carry on. Guess who didn't realize it until she was already in her hotel in Colorado....airport security is a jokeI did that a few years ago - I had to go up to MN several times for training on an airplane & brought a flight bag as my carry on. Forgot my leatherman with the oh-so-deadly 2.5" blade. It took five (5) trips through security for them to find it. I was pissed to lose it, but made sure to share that with the guy as he confiscated it. Edited February 22, 2011 by AndyJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess who didn't realize it until she was already in her hotel in Colorado....airport security is a jokeThat's nothing. Me and Carrie went from columbus to Tampa. Tampa to columbus. Then she flew from akron to vegas. While boarding in vegas they found a .32 round in her bag that apparently got lost from the last time she went to the range with me. So like a wonderful fiance she blamed it all on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
