TSA Director Reassigned after Agency only Caught Guns and Bombs 5% of the Time

Gee. It only took the agency failing to secure major airports a whopping 95% of the time for eleven-year TSA employee and Acting Director Melvin Carraway to get reassigned.

He is going to be moved to the Office of State and Local Law Enforcement at DHS headquarters “effective immediately.” Guess when something fails in Homeland Security, they just shift it around to fail elsewhere.

And why is he being reassigned?

ABC reported the decision was made “after an internal investigation revealed security failures at dozens of the nation’s busiest airports, where undercover investigators were able to smuggle mock explosives or banned weapons through checkpoints in 95 percent of trials.”

But you, Mr. and Mrs. America, still have to take off your flip flops to have them double checked for bombs when you take your kids on a trip to Disneyland. And if one of those kids is a three-year-old in a wheelchair, well then the likelihood of he or she getting out of there without being swabbed and molested, or at the very least humiliated and terrified, is pretty small.

You know… because your disabled four-year-old kid with leg braces or the baby inside your pregnant wife or your grandma’s underwear or your prosthetic breast or just your nipple ring or the urostomy bag you have to wear because of your bladder cancer or your dead mother’s urn might have a bomb or a gun in it… because you and your spouse and children and grandparents are obviously all terrorists.

Of course, 95 percent of the time when someone actually WANTS to bring a bomb or a gun onto a plane in America, apparently it’s as easy as cake.
