Fake Bomb Got Past Newark Airport Airport Screeners, Report Says

NEWARK, N.J. – An undercover Transportation Security Administration inspector reportedly brought a mock improvised explosive device stashed in his pants through two layers of security and was cleared to board a commercial flight last month.

The New York Post reports that the TSA's special operations team staged a mock intrusion at the airport on Feb. 25. The inspector brought the mock "bomb" through a magnetometer, which failed to detect the device, a source told the paper.

The other security check that failed to catch the mock device was a pat-down, according to the report.

Just goes to show that all that garbage we are being subjected to at the airports is ineffective and useless.

They need to change up the procedures to something more effective, like they do in Israel.

They were to busy searching 90 year old women.

Its NOT about safety. Its about "conditioning". TSA will search and detain 3 year old girls in wheelchairs, strip search 90 year old women, and humiliate anyone who DARES to question their illegal and heavy handed Gestapo tactics (only THEY can fondle your teenage daughter's breasts and your wife's privates -- in public-- and call it "security" - and legal). But BOMBS? THEY go though TWO checkpoints and - unbelievable, but true --a PAT DOWN. They must have been in a hurry to get to that foxy 16 year old chick who was next in line for a "security" check.
