Finding the leaker won’t improve their dismal record.

Apparently, they seem to think it would be easier to catch the leaker than an actual terrorist.

This SOB leaker messed up their Ostrich Stratagem.

Maybe it was the same guy who leaked the dirt on Barack’s rivals for the Senate seat he won. < /sarc >

I suppose Obama will start a secondary organization to be a watchdog of the TSA and report directly to Obama. We need more Czars!!

For security reasons, I can fully understand why the DHS did not want this report released. There is nothing as damaging to security as publicizing a major security flaw to the people most likely to exploit such lapses.

Sure, the public has a right to transparency. But maybe in this case, the retraining/whatever could have been done before releasing the information, so that the news about lapses could be tied to news about how it is stronger than ever?

Typical reaction of any kludgeocracy. Kill the whistleblower. Preserve the bureaucracy at all cost.

Their so called security system suffers from a 96% failure rate. That is not a lapse. It is a total system failure.

Would you purchase anything that worked, on average, 4% of the time?

Not willingly, but then taxes aren't as "voluntary" as some people seem to think.

Why hasn’t the media linked this story with the other story from 3 or 4 days ago where TSA had to fire 73 employees for being on the terrorist watch list?

If they were really worried about security they would be working to make sure the system works. The only security they’re worried about is their jobs.

They are exactly as voluntary as voting...in the USSR.
