Latest version of gang that could not shoot straight
The "enhanced" screening procedures now used by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at the nation’s airports has once again been demonstrated as a total failure, according to NaturalNews.
According to a high-ranking, inside source at TSA, an undercover agent was successfully able to smuggle a handgun through the naked body scanner — and she did so not only once, but several times at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
The TSA agent who performed the covert test says that none of the TSA agents that performed her screenings were disciplined for their multiple non-observances of her hidden weaponry.
All agents involved in the incident continue to operate the screening machines just as they did prior to the test, she said.
When asked about the incident, TSA offered a stock response that included the statement, "[f]or security reasons, we do not publicize or comment on the results of covert tests," adding that the naked body scanners are an "effective tool to detect both metallic and nonmetallic items hidden on passengers."
The incident is not the first to show both the failure of TSA agents and their new screening devices, the site says.
Late last year, TSA failed to identify a loaded pistol in a passenger’s briefcase, say reports. The man did not even realize he had the .40 caliber Glock with him, and allegedly made it throughTSA and onto the airport without obstruction.
