… or as I like to call it 25,000 FAILURES.
This excludes any fondling, X-rays, nude-o-scoping. Of which if we counted those, we’d be here for forever and day.
http://travel.usatoday.com/flights/story/2011/07/Airport-security-breaches-since-2001-raise-alarms/49326312/1 is where the story is at. Have a read then head back here.
Whilst some of these incidents are for example heading down the wrong corridor, some of them have been more worrying with fake bombs and weapons being missed.
And simply put TSA – this isn’t good enough.
Heck if I fluffed up that many times, I’d be kicked out of the door with a P45 (what Americans would call a “Pink Slip”) in my hand.
As I have been on the rough end of TSA screening more than once (be it on my person with a full fondle at IAD, hand swabbings at ORD and IAD, the destruction of my luggage not once, but TWICE), dear reader – you can understand why I have no sympathy for the TSA.
If they want the role they so vauntly impose on passengers – fine, but do a good job of it.
NOT THE LOUSY ONE THEY’RE DOING AT THE MOMENT.
