“They wouldn’t have the foggiest idea what to do if they actually ever found a real bomb, though that’ll never happen so I guess they’re off the hook.”

And you work for NSA or Security or another Alphabet so you know this for a fact, eh?

Ho hum.

Try reading the newspaper or watching the news instead.

I-Team: Aviation Insecurity - Security Theater

"As bad as it (security) was back then, it's worse now," said outspoken critic and former FAA red team member Steve Elson.

Elson served on the FAA red team along with Bogdan Dzakovich prior to 9-11. Elson's job was to take weapons and bomb materials through checkpoint security, testing aviation security around the country and the world. Though he retired about nine years ago Elson still maintains close contact to specialists within the nation's aviation security community.

"We had about a 100% success rate," Elson said of the tests he conducted. "In other words they (the screeners) failed about 100%. We, the terrorists, were successful about 100% of the time."

"Now, in security in the TSA, we are increasing the odds of terrorist success," said Elson of security efforts today. "It's all a big facade. So you should be worried because somebody is going to hit us again."
