While I enjoy seeing the TSA skewered by the media, the coverage here is atrocious, there seems to be no comprehension that the revelation of the TSA's supposedly outdate procedures is unlikely to endanger anyone and simply shows how most of what that agency does could be eliminated.

Do these clowns not realize that the TSA is already a big failure in reliably stopping weapons and explosives? The TSA's repeated failure to properly screen out for all weapons and explosives -- or the components for such -- is a far bigger threat to security than even the TSA's accidental transparency.

Airport security doesn't come via obscurity. Transparency -- an anathema to the TSA -- is a must for accountability and systematic performance improvements in aviation security. This is something that the TSA and the unnecessarily paranoid talking heads on TV don't get.
