Congressman: Secret Report On TSA Will “Knock Your Socks Off”
Submitted by legalizeliberty on Tue, 10/25/2011 - 12:06http://www.prisonplanet.com/congressman-secret-report-on-tsa...
The chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which oversees the TSA, has asserted that the release of a classified report on TSA security failures will renew calls for the replacement of the agency with private airport security personnel.
“The failure rate (for body scanning equipment) is classified but it would absolutely knock your socks off,” Florida Republican, Rep. John L. Mica told reporters during a briefing Monday.
Mica also asserted that recorded instances of pat downs failing to detect contraband are “off the charts.” This information is also currently still classified, but is due to be released within weeks as part of an upcoming committee report on the TSA’s first decade.

Doesn't surprise me.
Early in the TSA era, before the put on the jackboots and added the hobnails, the guy ahead of me in the security line was actually the fellow who was testing their vigilance. He had a pistol wedged into the side of his suitcase such that the X-ray got a top/bottom view of it. Needless to say they missed it.
I got to stand there for a couple minutes while they talked it over. Positioned as it was, that particular model looked like like a bracelet or watchband. (Unfortunately I wasn't able to discretely identify the model of pistol in question. B-b )
My wife and I stopped flying soon after. Took two cross-country trips since: First one we took Amtrack. Second one we towed a travel trailer.

That means: For each job "created or saved" about five were destroyed.
i sincerely doubt the tsa's failures
have exceeded our expectations, congressman.

It May Knock Our Socks Off
but it won't stop the TSA from continuing its abuses against flyers. Next they'll be having them take their socks off along with their shoes.
This agency
is an embarrassment on an international scale. I feel like foreigners want to come here for less tourism because of the level of harassment they suffered. I realize airports aren't public spaces but I refuse to fly under these conditions as should anyone with a rational mind.
You know what will happen
We now need to give the TSA more money and more power so they can make us safe.
Same procedure - always.
Design a system to fail. When it fails tell the people we need more of it. When will people wake up - it is so easy to see when you know how they work?

You're right
When Government policies fail, they never admit defeat, they just double down. This will be no different.
Exactly
and they design their policies to fail from the outset for this exact reason.

Of course.
The TSA was never intended to make anybody "safe".
It was intended to create a new corrupt Gestapo agency to make alot of money for the corrupt PTB, and stomp their Nazi boots onto the throats of innocent people across the country, in their ramping-up of their police state.
The TSA doesn't belong in airports.
They belong in prison for treason.
absolutely right
it's all about conditioning us to accept unlimited government authority and having our rights violated whenever government says it's necessary. anybody who would take those jobs is an enemy of the constitution and an enemy of liberty. sending them to prison would be letting them off easy for the seriousness of their crimes.
