In addition, a federal law signed in December included provisions inserted by U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) that stiffened penalties against people trying circumvent airport security and directed the TSA to study ways to improve security at exits to secure areas.
Today's incident, Lautenberg said in a statement last night, is "just another example of how exit lanes are an area of vulnerability at our airports.
Um, Senator Lautenberg-what about a "distracted TSA screener". Think proper training and/or having a TSO actually doing their job would prevent this type of incident? <putz>
....after a British man entered a secure area through an exit, walking past a "Do Not Enter" sign and a distracted TSA screener, authorities said.
And just why was the TSA screener "distracted"? C'mon TSA-fess up and show us the tapes of the TSO texting (or doing something similar) as opposed to their job. Oh, the tape is defective? The camera's were not focused properly? It's SSI
because you screwed up? Oh, well then-Never mind
