It is articles like this that will get people killed. Instead of making it public, the TV station needed to notify Homeland Security. IMHO
The media can be trusted to embargo the secrets of the final Harry Potter novel but they go “headlines” with issues of national security.
What you say should make sense, Lokibob, but what do you think Homeland Security would do? How do you think they would handle it? I, personally, do not have much faith in Mr. Chertoff or his staff, at this point.
“It is articles like this that will get people killed. Instead of making it public, the TV station needed to notify Homeland Security. IMHO.”
In all seriousness, I think taking something like this to the media might be the only thing that forces Homeland Security to act. I’m sorry to say that my confidence in Mr. Chertoff and the Department is not great.

Maybe I see things in a peculiar way, but I would believe that if DHS were doing their job this wouldn’t be happening.
I disagree. This information would already be known by “the bad guys.” This article will spur security to make some changes to their lax policies.
Homeland security is more likely to get people killed then this article. If ABC 15 had not aired this and gone to TSA, the TSA would have ignored it, as it is not a problem to them, since they in fact implemented the system.
Bravo ABC 15!
An additional fact you folks need to be aware of. The security company used by Sky Harbor employs many LPR’s and Refugee’s from Somalia.
Nonsense. Judging from TSA’s initial response to inquiries (yeah, right, whatever) and its response afterwards (SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!!!), such reports are the only way to get these problems fixed.
