In one test an undercover agent was stopped after setting off an alarm at a magnetometer, but TSA screeners failed to detect a fake explosive device that was taped to his back during a follow-on pat down.

...then-TSA administrator John Pistole, described the Red Team as “super terrorists,” who know precisely which weaknesses to exploit.

95% success rate in teaching US citizens how to give up their rights and accept being treated like cattle.

So I'm a 'super-terrorist'? I flew at least 3 times with 3 throwing knives in my backpack that I'd forgotten about. It's one of those massive laptop backpacks with pockets all over the place. But in 3 flights they didn't notice 3 steel throwing knives in a holster stuck in a pocket of a backpack dutifully run through the x-ray machine.

It's a shame that the standard response to this news, at least from what I saw on the news, is that we need to spend more money and resources on fixing the TSA. Nobody seemed to consider that the TSA was a step in the wrong direction.

Dang! Our program is 95% ineffective. This is an obvious sign we need to do more of the same.

Same thing with White House and Pentagon tours carrying a day pack that I hadn't realized a fair sized camp knife was still tucked into.

Didn't they also have a similiar failure rate a few years back when they ran the same tests?
Didn't they allegdelly "fix" the "problems" back then also?

They "fixed the glitch".

My step mother was a TSA screener back when the agency first formed. She was able to carry full sized blue guns and large fake explosives through security, while wearing her id card, without it being detected when doing penetration testing. The TSA agents usually couldn't even spot their own coworkers playing the role of terrorist even though they worked together on different shifts. She left after several months of very low quality coworker antics and the like. She has no respect for that job.

Imagine what you would do if you hired a private security company that failed 95% of the time. ;/

I'm sure glad the TSA keeps that 4oz of toothpaste out of grandma's bag.
