REPORT: Investigators Took Bomb Parts Through 19 Passenger Checkpoints (Drudge Report)
Well, that's just GREAT !
It sounds like airport passenger screeners are getting lax, distracted, lazy or are just untrained when it comes to the 19 airport "sneak throughs" in the latest report.
We don't need another "shoe bomber" incident to get our attention. If an airplane carrying 200 or 300 or even more people is blown from our USA skies... it would shatter the airline industry. The airlines have never fully recovered from the 9/11 disastrous attacks and the following threats of terrorist plots.
In my humble opinion, the airlines had better start putting their BEST, MOST ATTENTIVE personnel at the passenger screening lines... NOT their newest, MOST Easily Distracted workers.
I'm NOT saying they are incompetent, But... IF the "sneaked through" items were obvious and blatantly overlooked by screeners, those screeners should be FIRED or at least demoted and transferred far away from screening duties.
Get some TEETH back into the screening process...hand search more bags, add more bomb-sniffing dogs, or hell, just don't allow carry-on bags any more (those bags cause enough delays & frustration anyway, when people try to jam them into the overhead compartments).
Flying is scary enough for some people... without now worrying about bombers piecing together a bomb from smuggled parts !
