The inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that he is investigating the leak of classified information from an undercover operation in which investigators were able to slip through airport security with weapons and phony bombs more than 95 percent of the time.
“We have started an investigation to determine where the leak was,” Inspector General John Roth told the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
The information received widespread attention in the news media and on Capitol Hill. Roth told the panel that he had briefed top officials about his findings without the information leaking to the public.
“I was as disturbed as anyone that this information got into the media,” he said.
He declined to discuss in Tuesday’s public hearing any aspect of the investigation, in which auditors from his department were able to carry weapons or bomb-like material through airport-security checkpoints in 67 of 70 attempts this year.

LOL! The tester probably gave the TSA agent hints like; "I've got something in my bag that rhymes with bun, fun, and run!". To which the TSA agent replied, "What's 'rhymes'?".

Dang you beat me.
I disagree. The failure of the entire organization is so incredibly systemic, sweeping it under the rug, and calling for "retraining" just doesn't cut it. It just needs to be shut down, disbanded, and the current employees barred from ever working for the government in any capacity.
