Airport tests reveal major security flaws (National)
With the increasing safety issues looming from the effects of 9/11 many TSA officials are conducting investigations. These investigations usually involve fake passengers attempting to sneak through security lines with bomb materials or weapons. A recent investigation concluded that liquid used to initiate a bomb was snuck past 19 security locations.
I support TSA officials in conducting these investigations particularly because I feel they are necessary to protect our passengers. However, I feel that the information found should be kept private because it scares soon to be passengers. I for one would not like to know a week before I am about to fly somewhere that a bomb was snuck past the same security location that I’ll be using in the coming week.
