Did anybody see the segment on this on the CBS Evening News tonight? I came in in the middle and didn't catch the name of the woman who made a bit of a fool of herself trying to convince the reporter that this was not a security breach because the woman had been fully screened. Anyway, was she a rep of the TSA or the airport?
Either way, she seemed to admit that the ID checking is not pertinent to the screening process.

It doesn't appear that she's necessarily acting out of a lack of funds, just as not all shoplifters steal because they can't afford to purchase the item:

And get this...
NBC Bay Area News just reported that the TSA was not going to go public with this unless they (the TSA) was contacted by a reporter. W-T-F????

If you're referring to a woman with red hair, she's the spokesperson for SJC and no she didn't make "a bit of a fool of herself", she became a first class a number 1 fool as soon as she opened her mouth

I didn't pay any attention to her physical features so I don't know if she had red hair or not - I was just listening to her spiel.

And she supposedly has no mental issues.....really?......wonder what cereal box they got their psych degree off of. Of course I'd be spread eagle on some airport floor with a 300 lb cop with his knee in my back if I tried something like that and then have to spend the night in a cell with an equally good sized guy who thought he loved me.
