Why do I always stumble on articles like this when I am about to get on a plane tomorrow for San Francisco? MSNBC.com is reporting that the Government Accounting Office had investigators try and smuggle the materials for an IED through the security and 21 U.S. airports over the last few months and all 21 airports failed to detect it. This is after the TSA assures us that this is their number one priority.
Since we have obviously been ignoring our ports I at least thought some of the billions of dollars being pumped into the TSA was actually doing something. Now that cockpit doors are hardened and we have sky marshalls flying everywhere exposives are the obvious answer for someone that wants to make some statement using an airplane.
The thing is these devices are going to be small and will not destroy the plane outright. They will only breach the hull or some such and we will all get to take a very long and cold 40,000 foot ride straight down. Bummer.
