What a joke. So the government can't even screen the employees correctly and we are to believe that they are screening refugees effectively?

When TSA tested the screening process, they found that they were able to get guns and bombs past the TSA agents 95% of the time, I guarantee that a ground worker, or impersonator could get a bomb on a plane 100% of the time.

Nobody wants to fund the TSA to levels needed to properly vet all workers at airports and vet all passengers. As a result TSA workers are low paid assembly workers assigned simple tasks, with no discretion, and have to keep the line moving. We can't afford, and the public wouldn't accept, EL AL levels of training, pay, security, scrutiny and questioning.
