It doesn’t take much to get an airport security badge these days, even if you are a dog.
In an examination of a database of more than 1.1 million security badges for roughly 900,000 airport workers at 359 US airports, the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General found omissions or inaccuracies in 96,000 records, such as missing security status, birthdates and birthplaces. In one instance, a security badge was issued to a dog.
The badges are issued to airport workers and give clearance to secure areas. Applicants must pass a criminal background check and a security threat assessment from the Transportation Security Administration.
Airport operators are responsible for collecting employee data and submitting it to the nation-wide database, but TSA is responsible for requiring applicants to be properly vetted. Approximately 890,000 employees with 1.2 million active badges have access to secure areas of airports.
The report said TSA only enforced limited oversight over the badge offices. It did not require airports have quality assurance procedures or give proper training to badge offices, not did it require inspectors to verify airport data during their reviews.

The dog is probably one of the more reliable badge bearers.

whoops
Well, Obama reportedly has a security clearance.
Enuff said...
900,000 workers. And not a damned one of them smart enough to tell a dog from a cat. Or human.
“The dog is probably one of the more reliable badge bearers.”
Yeah, you say that until he sticks his nose in your crotch!
“Oversight”= Standard Operating Procedure
Well at least the quality of the new hires is improving...
Plus... at least we know that the dog probably isn’t helping the terrorists, since Muslims don’t like dogs.
Oh, great. Not only are they groping our junk; now they’re gonna sniff our butts, too.
LOL

If that dog is owned by a Tea Party supporter, we could have had some very frightening terrorist events. ;>)
Obama and his people have once again made the United States the laughing stock to the Entire World.
I’ll bet that dog wasn’t an AA hire.
Between my two dogs, Torey the Border Collie, and Linda the Black Lab/Chou, Torey was by far more intelligent and vigilant. However, knowing the TSA, it would probably be Linda who would get the badge.
Yep, the President must have the highest level clearance with almost no “need to know” exceptions. The fact that Obama has this angers me to no end.
The process is painful and I'd bet the farm he would never get it if he wasn't “the One”. For the highest clearance, they would do a polygraph and interview people that can confirm your activities for up to 20 years.
Does this clown have a single reference that ever had a real job? One that isn't a convicted criminal, terrorist or communist?
If it’s a German Shepherd, I can understand. ;-D
I trust the dog more than any other TSA employee.
