Quote:WASHINGTON (AP) — A Nigerian man boarded a Virgin America airplane last week with an invalid boarding pass — making it through a federal security checkpoint where travelers must show identification and their boarding passes.

"Every passenger that passes through security checkpoints is subject to many layers of security including thorough physical screening at the checkpoint," Transportation Security Administration spokesman Greg Soule said. "TSA's review of this matter indicates that the passenger went through screening." TSA would not comment on what else happened, citing an ongoing FBI investigation.

Maybe if they would focus more on common sense things, like comparing someone's freaking ID to their boarding pass, instead of molesting decrepit old cancer patients and small children, things like this wouldn't happen.

Well I'm not surprised he got through, I mean that shifty six year old behind him was sure distracting...

the TSA is a total joke...that's why I avoid flying.

last time I HAD to fly was march...I refused the TSA nude-o-scope machine and told the guy I wouldn't allow anyone to touch me...they just rolled their eyes and yelled "opt out!" and I just went through the metal detector.
