11/15/07 GAO: Bomb-making Materials Pass Security at 19 U.S. Airports

[admin]

Investigators with bomb-making components in their luggage and on their person were able to pass through security checkpoints at 19 U.S. airports without detection, according to the Government Accountability Office. The investigators reported that most of the time security officers followed Transportation Security Administration policies and procedures, but investigators were able to take advantage of "weaknesses in TSA procedures and other vulnerabilities."GAO officials are expected to testify about the investigation Thursday before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
