"This story begins with an air cargo worker who's been fired after she refused to become a human bomb detector.

Her story exposes a dirty little secret about airport security -- a secret Jim Hoffer has been investigating.

A worker at Starbuck's gets more training for making espresso's than some cargo workers get for detecting explosives. Two cargo workers tell us they were trained to be bomb screeners in just a couple of hours and then given an ultimatum.

Given a tiny knife and a couple of hours training, this cargo clerk found herself forced into a frightening job as a bomb detector."

That's right, the TSA continues to blow millions of dollars on a sick, perverted fetish, ala Shoe Carnival, harasses people with multiple ID checks and SSSS harassment, and devotes resources to The Great Sharp and Pointy Object Search, but this is the best that the ...-clowns in charge of the TSA can do when it comes to bomb detections.

Admiral Stone, you are as big a disgrace as your worthless predecessors.
