It seems the organization is
rotten with jihad from within:
Last week an Inspectors General report showed the Transportation and Security Administration failed to prevent 96 percent of terror attacks during undercover tests.
Now, another IG report shows that not only has TSA failed to detect fake bombs, weapons and other explosives nearly 100 percent of the time, but also people with terrorism ties working at airports across the country. More from
Fox News:
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."
According to TSA data, the people in question were working for major airlines, airport venders and other employers.
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 the report, the TSA had been unable to find 73 individuals "linked to terrorism" because the information the TSA received from the Department of Homeland Security Watchlist Service and used for vetting did not contain the terrorism "codes" associated with the 73 individuals. In other words, TSA did not have the entire terror watchlist.
Reason number gazillion why the TSA needs to be dismantled - indeed, why the DHS should never have been created. We had a Department of Defense, a DIA, a CIA and an FBI. At the time, circa 2002, I thought that it would lead to unwieldy bureaucracy, redundancy and overlap, mission creep, and ever-more-mediocre leadership - all of which has happened.
"Failure" doesn't adequately convey what is going on here.
