On the heels of Transportation Security Administration workers flunking a security test at airport checkpoints, the results of a new audit show that -- while the agency keeps a robust system for screening commercial airport workers -- it still failed to flag 73 airport workers "linked to terrorism."
Apparently, TSA does not have access to all the terror watchlist information it needs to make those judgments.
The TSA did not identify these individuals through its vetting operations because it is not authorized to receive all terrorism-related categories under current interagency watch-listing policy, the June 4 Inspector General report stated.
According to TSA data, the people in question were working for major airlines, airport venders and other employers.

That's no problem ... so long as the idiots don't profile Muzzies!
Whya are we spending billions on TSA? They (1) can’t find bombs and (2) hassle innoncent people all day long.
This headline should come as no surprise to anyone who travels via America’s airports. Denver, Minneapolis, Dallas, etc., all appear to be employers of dozens of Somali refugees.
It’s been suggested many times that the security be returned to where it really belongs: the airlines and the airports themselves.
All the excuses no longer hold any water and this is just the latest of many TSA debacles.
Some presidential candidates talk about abolishing certain alphabet agencies, maybe the TSA should be at/near top of the list.

The Stupid Agency is an object lesson in the science of Government Boondoggles.
Disband it and spend the money on something useful; or, better yet, refund the money to the taxpayers who actually earned it.
I'm surprised that we haven't had a major terrorist incident at the airports. They must be waiting for their fellow Muzzie to leave the Whitehouse before they begin their reign of terror. By then everything will be in-place.
Why?
Because George Bush created two new agencies to duplicate the responsibilities already tasked to the coast guard and the CIA. So instead of military trained personnel performing these tasks (as was done during WWII, Korea, and the early stages of the Vietnam War...we have the equivalent of mall cops.
This one actually is “Bush’s fault.”
Your picture tells the story.
That’s OK
in lou of, they sexually accosted me, an old white American woman..
See, it worked..no attacks by terrorists..
The TSA. Where failure isn’t an option. It’s a requirement.
Didn’t they arrest a guy from MN for trying to go fight for ISIS who was a baggage handler at the airport there?
