Reports: Airport Screeners Still Do Poorly (Dow sinks! Terra! Terra!)
Here we go! WASHINGTON - Two upcoming government reports will say the quality of screening at airports is no better now than before the Sept. 11 attacks, according to a House member who has been briefed on the contents.

The TSA won't comment on the specifics of the reports until they are released, said spokesman Mark Hatfield Jr.
"When the political posturing is over, rational people will see that American screeners today are the best we have ever had and that they are limited only by current technology and security procedures that are significantly influenced by privacy demands," Hatfield said.
It's just a distraction. If you're thinking about airplanes going down you won't be thinking about your 401k going down. Welcome to DU, if I haven't said it already! :hi:
