TSA Misses Guns, Bombs In Tests  

"While the government agency responsible for securing the nation's transportation system harasses honest citizens with invasive, genital-groping personal searches, guns and bombs regularly get past inept Homeland Security [TSA] screeners.

"At major airports throughout the United States, undercover agents have slipped a shocking number of weapons through security checkpoints during covert exercises conducted randomly since the devastating 2001 terrorist attacks. Reports on the so-called red team tests, are kept secret by the government, but a major news agency got wind of some results and they are downright scary."
