Nice that you got to see a scawy boom-boom, but aside from demonstrating that explosives can cause damage to planes -UH-DUH! - did this so-called training actually TRAIN you on anything related to detection or prevention?

Cool. Link an example.

Never said it was failsafe, but if you don't even know whatchamacallit LOOKS like, how can you even pretend that you're really looking for it, or ever expect to find it if it does go by?
Oh, you can't, since you (meaning TSA, not you personally) missed FIVE POUNDS of it, unbidden, undisguised, still in its original government wrapper marked C4 HIGH EXPLOSIVE.
