TSA personnel fail 5 tests out of 7.
In one instance, the testers went through security with a bottle of water and bomb components in their carry-on luggage. The TSA screeners saw the bottle and confiscated it. Didn't see the bomb stuff though...
Says a TSA spokesperson:
In related news, DHS Chief Chertoff said today in Chicago that he has a "gut feeling" that some shit might be going down this summer. I actually have the same feeling - I'm thinking subway attack somewhere. Happy summer indeed...

Says a TSA spokesperson:
We don't discuss the results because they tend to paint an inaccurate picture of the competency of our work force. [...] The tests are designed to be incredibly difficult and TSA does anticipate a fair level of failure.Well, that's reassuring... So basically, unless the terrorists are a bunch of retards, we should expect a "fair level" of failure. Hurray.
