Airports are waiving background checks on employees.
Employers at some U.S. airports are being allowed to hire workers without completing all background security checks because of a backlog in the screening process, federal officials said.
The backlog and resulting relief granted to airports was first reported by WSB-TV in Atlanta, which obtained a memo from airport officials outlining the Transportation Security Administration directive. The memo was sent from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport officials on April 20 to airlines and contractors there. It says workers can be granted access to certain parts of the airport before their checks are finished.
“To allow for a continuity of operations, TSA has provided airports and airlines with interim regulatory relief,” TSA spokesman Jon Allen said in a statement. “At no time was security at risk, and all new employees will still undergo identity verification and be subject to watch list matching.”
Of course the report is vague, but I think we’ve seen all the obvious flaws, like dumping out your water bottle before you go see the sexual deviants at the screening area…and then seeing some chump wheeling in a dolly full of water bottles to be sold on the other side in the various shops.
Of course its not like even if the system was running at 100% these fools could catch the next major terrorist, but hey, now it means the Terrorists won’t even have to break a sweat to get through.
….While a high school dropout sticks his hands down your pants and makes your children cry.
Disbands the TSA YESTERDAY!
Well, its not like our sex fiend gatekeepers do anything, anyhow. The TSA still has a flawless record of not having ever prevented an actual incident, anyhow.
This type of SHIT is why I don’t fly. I would rather take 4 days in a car than have to deal with airport security…..
