    Default TSA Allows Guns Through Porn Scanners

    An undercover TSA employee was able to get through security thater at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport with a handgun during testing of the porn body scanners, according to a high-ranking, inside source at the Transportation Security Theater Administration.

    The source said the undercover employee carried a pistol in her undergarments when she put the porn body scanners to the test. The employee successfully made it through the airport's porn 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 employees who failed to spot the gun on the scanned image were disciplined. The source said the employees continue to work the porn 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.

    The agency would only provide the following statement:

    "Our security officers are one of the most heavily tested federal workforces in the nation. We regularly test our officers in a variety of ways to ensure the effectiveness of our technology, security measures and the overall layered system. For security reasons, we do not publicize or comment on the results of covert tests, however advanced imaging technology is an effective tool to detect both metallic and nonmetallic items hidden on passengers."

    TSA employees who spoke to a reporter agreed that the porn body-imaging scanners are effective -- but only if the employees monitoring them are paying attention.

    Wow, that is fantastic but they need to learn what they are being tested on first. Also testing doesn't do anything unless the results are used to make sure they know how to do their job. Finding results and doing nothing about it....yep, way to go TSA. I guess when you can't even keep a job at Walmart, the TSA is always willing to hire you....as long as you are a monitory.

    They can say they test to ensure effectiveness, but as they themselves have already proven, they are not effective at all.

    The only thing they are effective at is falsely claiming they are effective.

    Pretty soon, they will cry poor and claim they need more money. Our taxes will go up as we loose our jobs and spend ridiculous amounts of money on nonsense.
