The print article differed from the broadcast report.
On the broadcast it was stated that 80% of cargo is not inspected.
TSA counters that all cargo on narrow body aircraft is inspected.
So that would mean that narrow body aircraft only carry 20% of the cargo.
Standard old excuse, its to hard, we don't have the people, ya da ya da ya da.
Perhaps if TSA used its employees in an efficinet manner they could get some real security done.
The TDC position is a total waste, the gate gropes are a waste and BDO's are a waste. That makes up a good group of people who I would think could be trained to inspect cargo.
