At any rate, TSA prides itself on adapting to an ever changing enemy. If TSA can't adapt even to GAO tests, how can it adapt to a real terrorist?

You can't sit there and tell me failure is OK because it's hard. In the real world, it's going to be hard. That is, unless Kippie was right in saying that they're only looking for dumb terrorists who'd use a Wyle. E. Coyote type of bomb. If a bomb goes off and it wasn't detected by TSA, the excuse "well, they hid it well and it didn't look like a bomb. It was hard to detect" isn't going to cut it.
