Brush Schneier has a posting Airport Screeners Still Aren't Any Good. "Screeners at Newark Liberty International Airport, one of the starting points for the Sept. 11 hijackers, failed 20 of 22 security tests conducted by undercover U.S. agents last week, missing concealed bombs and guns at checkpoints throughout the major air hub's three terminals." What's the point of not letting toothpaste on board if people can bring bombs and guns on board? As Schneier says, "Remember this truism: We can't keep weapons out of prisons. We can't possibly keep them out of airports.".
The first comment to his post is "The good news is that the TSA has responded quickly to the report. The bad news is that their response is to start an investigation to find out who leaked the test results."
