Whats your point?
The point is that TSA is not screening all people who enter the secure area.

In the Pam Am event I believe that the actors were not baggage handlers but higher ups who smuggled the weapon onto the aircraft.

Regardless, TSA in todays world has set up the ability for someone to insert a bomb into checked baggage after screening.

In my book that is a massive FAIL for TSA.
