A man accidentally brought his loaded .40 caliber gun onto an airplane. He didn't know he had it. Neither did the TSA, who completely missed it during its scan and allowed that plane to fly. Apparently, this happens a lot.
Farid Seif, a Houson businessman, usually carries the weapon around for protection. He didn't realize he had kept the glock in his carry-on computer bag until he was mid-flight. Once he landed, he immediately reported the incident (and was stunned he was able to get it on board without hassle). That something like this happened should be scary in itself, but authorities tell ABC News says that that sort of incident isn't exactly uncommon:
Experts say every year since the September 11 attacks, federal agencies have conducted random, covert tests of airport security.
A person briefed on the latest tests tells ABC News the failure rate approaches 70 percent at some major airports. Two weeks ago, TSA's new director said every test gun, bomb part or knife got past screeners at some airports.
We put up with the TSA and their foolish methods in name of security but if they're not keeping us secure, well ****, why do we put up with it?

Seriously, TSA has been the very embodiment of failure this year. They should get the failure award of 2010.

1 Point for the Terrorists and theyre in the lead!-------------
On topic, because of the TSA failing and whatnot that's going on that has to do with TSA, the terrorists are winning. Now, because of these epic fails, a guy could be carrying a bomb or a gun on him, and the TSA wouldnt know 'cause theyre to stupid to check. What if the guy with the gun was a terrorist,think,what if?, who knows, he could shoot everyone on the plane. The TSA has to find better methods of keeping people safe. Groping women with large breasts for "extra scanning" or "accidentally" missing a weapon in a scan is NOT an effective method.
