Undercover Agents Moved Fake Weapons Through TSA With An Over 70% Success Rate

A new report claims that undercover officers working for the Department of Homeland Security were “able to get through TSA checkpoints with mock knives, guns and explosives … more than 70% of the time,” according to CBS News.

The primary failure, reports CBS, appears to be the luggage scanning machines, which are outdated. However, in order to replace the current machines with new CT scanners, which are much more adept at detecting weapons — specifically explosives — the TSA will need more money.
