TSA Delays Marine Returning To Minnesota
......<b>Daniel Brown was delayed for about 30 minutes</b> while TSA officials in California questioned him. The questioning delayed made Daniel Brown miss his flight, but his fellow Marines didn't think twice about delaying the homecoming celebrations at Fort Snelling...........

TSA's extra, 30 minutes scrutiny of Daniel Brown comes three weeks after the following negative publicity concerning TSA's dismal performance related to undercover federal monitoring of their explosives detection methods. TSA had a file on Daniel Brown, and they used the information about what they found, a year ago, on his old combat boots, to take a closer look at him, for one half hour. TSA did not create the flight itinery/schedule, of Daniel Brown. TSA did react to receiving a failing grade during undercover monitoring or the agency's explosive detection accuracy.
Why is this "30 minute, TSA investigative delay" of one soldier, returning from Iraq, a "story"? Why is Sen. Pat Robertson's failure to follow through on his July, 2004 promise to investigate whether the Bush admin., "fixed the facts" to match the policy to invade Iraq, even after senate democrats walked out of the senate, in protest, last november, <b>not "the story", reported in the news, each and every effing day that Pat Robertson fails to finish the investigation and issue a report?</b>

Report: Airport screeners fail homemade bomb tests
Friday, March 17, 2006; Posted: 9:21 a.m. EST (14:21 GMT)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Security screeners at 21 U.S. airports failed to find bomb-making materials during recent government tests, NBC Nightly News reported on Thursday.
Federal agents carrying materials that could be used to make bombs escaped detection in airport screening during tests conducted between October and January, NBC said, citing government sources.
"In all 21 airports tested, no machine, no swab, no screener anywhere stopped the bomb materials from getting through. Even when investigators deliberately triggered extra screening of bags, no one stopped these materials," the report said.
NBC said, for security reasons, it would not name the airports nor the ingredients involved in the tests conducted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the watchdog arm of Congress.
Congress requested the investigation to determine the vulnerability of U.S. airlines to a suicide bomber using cheap and easy-to-obtain materials, NBC said.
The GAO finding is classified, the report said.
The Transportation Security Administration had no comment on the report but said in a statement that detecting explosive materials and IEDs (improvised explosive devices) at the checkpoint was the agency's top priority.
"TSA has already initiated enhanced detection technology training for security officers to identify possible explosive materials and IED components," the statement said.
