hee-hee....they used the word "snafu"

The TSA didn't notice the security snafu until supervisors were reviewing recordings of a checkpoint X-ray machine and realized the ammo and magazine could be on board one of the three flights.
why were they reviewing the tapes? sounds like they knew they already missed "something"

Out of an abundance of caution, passengers on flights that had already departed were screened for connecting flights. The ammunition was removed from a passenger's bag who was connecting in Denver.

TSA critics say airport security is still flawed and inadequate in the United States.
"Security today is no safer or no better that it was on September 10," Kelly said, referring to the day before the devastating terrorist attacks in 2001.
kelly is my hero

Unanswered questions remain about how someone can pass through a checkpoint with a prohibited item.
