Way to go TSA!!!! You will pat down children. Humiliate the terrorist looking 95 year old lady with cancer in a wheelchair by making her take off her depends because you can't figure out that the solid in her depends is waste. But yet they let a Nigerian man get on a plane from NY to LA with no passport, an invalid ID and someone else's EXPIRED boarding pass! I feel so much safer!!
They just found out that he also flew from LA to Atlanta on ANOTHER bogus boarding pass. Where was TSA? Oh that's right, groping old ladies and patting down children.
Kate - so you don't think we should be concerned that someone made it through security with an incorrect boarding pass... different name and not for a flight that day?? I sure as heck am concerned!
Without a doubt we should be concerned, but we should also realize that everyone makes mistakes and some people will get through TSA screening. How many people per day fly in our skies? The TSA screens 2 million passengers each day at over 450 airports nationwide.
Outrages of the day just get old - it's so easy to criticize others when you're not standing in their shoes.

Well obviously the labor union member/communist Gate Agent was conspirering with the Nigerian terrorist. I expect that from them, but i'm really disappointed in the TSA's performance on this one.
I wonder if they'd let me fly to Burgundy on an expired passport...?
TSA is such a joke, it's all feel-good, let's make it look like we're making you safer, even though we aren't implementing effective measures.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
It's never been about actual "safety"...It's "theater" to try to convince the sheep that they are "safe"...(Of course, they really aren't, and the the hundreds of billions being spent on the effort is being pushed by, guess who: The COMPANIES THAT MANUFACTURE THE USELESS MACHINES... Duh!) Just TRY to say it's a waste of money and effort, and their lobbyists will be all over FauxNews and the conservative sycophants, screaming: "You don't care about protecting the American People!!"
