Taco Bell is the private sector. Of course they're more efficient. TSA is government. Is anyone surprised?

I saw that report this morning. They also said the TSA has been tested by other govt agencies with bringing on knives, guns, and bomb parts. The result showed a 70% failure rate!!! (edit: I was typing while the above was posted. Sorry for repeating this fact)

I travel about 120K miles/year. I have for 15 years, and I've always thought I could easily, if I wanted to, sneak on a weapon of almost any kind once you learn how these people screen and how incompetent they are.

I once, pre-9/11 flew to dallas with a duffle bag full of shotgun shells. 10 shells made it to Dallas.
I also once flew to Columbus, Ohio and back to Houston (post 9/11) with a large, what my wife calls, "OJ Simpson knife".
When I unpacked it, I think I turned sheet white. I literally felt light-headed at the thought of what could have happened had they found it.
Needless to say, now I have a separate bag for hunting that never flies anywhere!
