"This episode once again demonstrates how Newark Airport is the Ground Zero of TSA failures," said a source published in the NY Post, a newspaper that's been breaking huge news on the TSA (and actually doing a far better job reporting on this than the NYT).
But the real news isn't the fact that, time and time again, government officials can easily sneak explosives onto airplanes. The real story is what happened a few days later, when a TSA employee who works at Newark went public with allegations that the TSA is nothing more than pure theater and that TSA employees have no ability or motivation to catch any terrorists whatsoever.
"A LOT of what we do is make-believe."
That's how the confession begins. It's a confession of a TSA agent, published once again in the New York Post. And it continues:
We're not any big deterrent. It's all for show. Most TSA screeners know their job is a complete joke. Their goal is to use this as a stepping stone to another government agency. We work in a culture where common sense has no place. All but a very few TSA personnel know they're employed by a bottom-of-the-barrel agency.
