Well, I want to know... Did they succeed in getting into any of the planes?
After 14 attempts, you would think a terrorist could have found a way in. Geesh... homeless have been found sleeping on parked planes & TSA "inspectors" couldn't figure out a way in?

Seriously pilot, so now just commenting that your post is not a complete story is somehow being a "nay-sayer"?
If I'm reading the info you posted correctly (which I may not be of course!), it looks like the same planes are cited multiple times so while a number of flights were delayed, not as many planes were inspected as flights delayed (i.e., ¥646 is cited for four delays, isn't that aircraft 646?).
I actually count 16 flights affected

They were trying to see what First Class was really like. Now you know why 15 old ladies in wheelchiars are stripped searched before 1 briefcase from someone looking MidEastern is inspected

Very well, we are not down to ad hominem, questioning credibility of people who have demonstrated credibility and has posted the S/Ns of damaged aircraft, incorrect grammatical corrections, stereotyping, ethnic, disability and age bashing, plenty of shame to go around. This thread has obviously exceeded its useful lifespan; further discussion in OMNI or the existing thread in Travel Safety and Security, please.
Thanks to those who provided news links and added both information and humor.
