Gaping Holes in Airline Security: Loaded Gun Slips Past TSA Screeners - Dec 2010

Last fall, as he had done hundreds of times, Iranian-American businessman Farid Seif passed through security at a Houston airport and boarded an international flight. He didn't realize he had forgotten to remove the loaded snub nose "baby" Glock pistol from his computer bag. But TSA officers never noticed as his bag glided along the belt and was x-rayed. When he got to his hotel after the three-hour flight, he was shocked to discover the gun traveled unnoticed from Houston.

"It's just impossible to miss it, you know. I mean, this is not a small gun," Seif told ABC News. "How can you miss it? You cannot miss it."

But the TSA did miss it, and despite what most people believe about the painstaking effort to screen airline passengers and their luggage before they enter the terminal, it was not that unusual.

According to one report, undercover TSA agents testing security at a Newark airport terminal on one day in 2006 found that TSA screeners failed to detect concealed bombs and guns 20 out of 22 times. A 2007 government audit leaked to USA Today revealed that undercover agents were successful slipping simulated explosives and bomb parts through Los Angeles's LAX airport in 50 out of 70 attempts, and at Chicago's O'Hare airport agents made 75 attempts and succeeded in getting through undetected 45 times.

TSA is a fucking joke and should be disbanded.

The TSA is indeed useless.

They will use this to justify more intrusive searches.

Or, use this as a justification for more funding.

i'm still waiting for the day where carry on luggage will be completely forbidden and you have to deliver your other luggage a day early for quarantine and extensive search

Even more chance of it being sent to Timbuktu instead of where you are going.

more DHS video propaganda screens to "educate" us.

Consider the amount and type of technology people carry with them and then consider that you are relying on a human eye to examine x-ray images to determine what is inside. of course they are going to miss stuff, i'm surprised they find anything!

looking at the stats above, I would say YES

moeloubani · 12-19-2010, 03:04 PM

This shows that if people actually wanted to do something, they would have, and still can even with all of this 'security'.

dyna mo · 12-19-2010, 03:08 PM

one would expect a police state to fudge those #s in their favor.

just because it's a police state doesn't mean they're good at lying.

just look at the 9/11 "official report".

dyna mo · 12-19-2010, 04:45 PM

yeah it's takes mad lying skills to change the # 45 to a 75 in a 3+ year old document.

AndreaM · 12-19-2010, 04:55 PM

Security. Coming to a theater near you.

I took a flight from Tucson to Vegas once and had a pretty sizable pocket knife in my luggage (I was not aware of it, I use the same luggage for camping). Made it to Vegas just fine but as I was coming through the Vegas airport coming back home they shut down the lines when the found the knife. I was shocked that it was in there, even more shocked that I made my arriving flight without anyone taking notice.

USA should follow what El Al airlines does for security.........

CYF · 12-19-2010, 10:44 PM

If the TSA was less concerned with groping passengers and more concerned with actual security, they probably wouldn't miss so much stuff getting through

Redrob · 12-19-2010, 10:59 PM

I think of them as a deterrent.....much like a roll-on scented deodorant.

It just makes flying tolerable and covers the stink.
