Screeners not performing as planned

Tuesday, 28 Apr, 2004 0

Whether they’re government or privately employed workers, US airport screeners have performed poorly.

 

 

That was the conclusion of Inspector General Clark Kent Ervin of the General Accounting Office testifying before a US House aviation subcommittee. The report was based on covert testing of screeners.

 

 

“We have a system that doesn’t work,” said US Congressman John Mica. He added he was asking for a meeting with Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge to find ways of tightening airport security.
