Here we go again

UPDATE: Just in time — TSA decides to make changes at airport. It’s about damn time.
The TSA has placed the Federal Security Director at Sky Harbor on administrative leave.
The TSA also says it will resume 24-hour screening of airport employees immediately tonight at all airport security checkpoints, while procedures are under review.
Don’t do us any favors. I wonder if the Director was doing his job based upon their guidelines?

Another breach of security at an airport, this time in Phoenix.
We’ve discovered a 4.5 hour time frame each night when virtually anything can be brought into the secure side of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. There’s no metal detector, no X-ray machine, and it’s apparently not a problem
Nice job, aces.
The San Diego Airport is a joke when it comes to security. Quite obviously so is Sky Harbor, maybe worse.
Employee: “I’m telling you Sky Harbor’s not safe and hasn’t been for a long time.”
It’s what we discovered in the middle of the night - TSA agents going away, and security guards taking over. It’s 4.5 hours - every night - when an employee badge becomes an all-access pass.
Night after night, our hidden cameras captured what security experts tell us is a disaster waiting to happen.
The X-ray machines were off, the metal detectors were closed, and bags with unknown contents were carried to the secure side of the airport where the planes are.
We watched as a security guard let people with purses, coolers and suitcases
walk right through - bags unchecked.
This is ridiculous. How can you take seriously needing to be in Iraq when the clue-less idiots in our government don’t take seriously our security? You can’t.
Read the article to get really ticked off.
Oh and don’t forget the Democrats don’t want you tipping anyone off to suspicious activities. Seems clear they want us to get attacked.
