Gee, it's only been 3 years since September 11 and the feds can't not only FIND bombs going onto our planes, but when they do find them, they not only LOSE them, but they then don't tell anyone and all the planes with the bombs take off into the air. Nice how the article fails to ask the airport folks why no planes were detained? Why ALL planes weren't detained?
The first plane that blows up, it's Bush's fault. And by the way... WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE DEMOCRATS?
Baggage screeners at Newark Liberty International Airport spotted — and then lost — a fake bomb planted in luggage by a supervisor during a training exercise.
Despite an hours-long search Tuesday night, the bag, containing a fake bomb complete with wires, a detonator and a clock, made it onto an Amsterdam-bound flight. It was recovered by airport security officials in Amsterdam when the flight landed several hours later....
In October, The Star-Ledger of Newark reported that screeners missed one in four fake explosives and weapons in secret weekly tests conducted throughout the summer by TSA agents.
In Tuesday night's test, a TSA supervisor secretly placed the bomb, which was designed to resemble the plastic explosive Semtex, inside a bag that was put through screening machines, Davis said.
A baggage screening machine sounded an alarm, but workers somehow lost track of the bag, which was then loaded onto a Continental Airlines flight.
Despite the incident, no flights were delayed and the terminal remained open.
