Given that the nudeoscopes have at best a 60% detection rate - and TSA management knows this - is anyone surprised? As I have posted before, during the Bush Administration commissioned an internal study that was designed to rank the most serious threats to aviation safety. When the study reached its conclusion, it was never offically published, because the authors had the audacity to admit what we all suspected - that passengers didn't pose the most immediate threat to aviation security - under the wing was - and still is - the biggest vulnerability. Because releasing the study would undercut the TSA security theater, Skeletor and the Kipster suppressed it.
