TSA Agent beats Body Scannners with Gun in Bra - WoodlandsOwl - 02-21-2011 02:59 PM
TSA Source: Armed Agent Slips Past DFW Body Scanner
An undercover TSA agent was able to get through security at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport with a handgun during testing of the enhanced-imaging body scanners, according to a high-ranking, inside source at the Transportation Security Administration.
The source said the undercover agent carried a pistol in her undergarments when she put the body scanners to the test. The officer successfully made it through the airport's body scanners every time she tried, the source said.
"In this case, where they had a test, and it was just a dismal failure as I'm told," said Larry Wansley, former head of security at American Airlines. "As I've heard (it), you got a problem, especially with a fire arm."
Wansley said covert testing by the TSA is commonplace -- although failing should be rare.
The TSA insider who blew the whistle on the test also said that none of the TSA agents who failed to spot the gun on the scanned image were disciplined. The source said the agents continue to work the body scanners today.
Wansley said that is a problem.
"This was only a test, but it's critically important that you do something, because if that person failed in the real environment, then you have a problem," he said.
The TSA did not deny that the tests took place or the what the results were.
TSA agents who spoke to a reporter agreed that the body-imaging scanners are effective -- but only if the officers monitoring them are paying attention.

You'd have to almost imagine that TSA was already unionized, I mean, they have the work ethic nailed.

Well, that just proves they need to have more aggressive pat downs.

What the hell, was this agent Muslim?

I know you can get some pretty small handguns, but this must have been a well endowed agent.
Do we cross A cups off the terrorist list?
