Security breach at IAH

Some person just blew through the TSA checkpoint here, shutting down the entire airport for 30 minutes now. Thanks for the delay you idiots, just tackle the guy!

maybe the TSA should have tranquilizer dart guns to stop people who bypass security.

Wait, something isn't right here.

Isn't the BDO's supposed to catch behavior like this prior to someone doing this?

He had to be twitching all over, dilated pupils, tiny sweat beads on his forehead. You know all the typical indications that he had "bad intentions".

I guess another FAIL for the BDO team.

That would be the ENHANCED ENGAGE PROGRAM !!!!!!!!!!!

From the TSA website:
The training will help officers apply intelligence information; go beyond the SOP; develop the three skill areas of creating calm, critical thinking, and command presence; maintain situational awareness; draw on each others' strengths; and recognize smuggling techniques.
OOOOPS, another FAIL

Yeah, I believe that so. BDO didn't catch the guys at front of security checkpoint. It was reason why they are fail to find a guys at sterile areas. BDO should have to taking own responsibilities to searchable for the suspicious behaviors. I think it was someone who have ID fraudulent.

You mean like most of their workforce and many airport workers that TSA won't screen because it's too hard?

No, it will be too hard for that.

Can't wait until some TSA employee goes "postal" and takes out any number of people all because they got a free pass at security. Lets remember Alvin.

Wonder what bull*hit spin TSA will put on that?
