One thing I've always wondered - who at the TSA is requesting these tests? Surely they know their own security is crap. It's not like it's an outside watchdog agency. It's like if some surgeon lost 19 out of 20 of his patients, but then asked a nurse to keep count and publish the numbers. Just bizarre. And whoever set this internal audit process up - what did they have in mind afterwards? As jeffcoat said, there has been no change over the last 5 years, so... is it just like "/bin/internal_audit | tee /dev/null"? Aside from rubbing our faces in how they're wasting their $7 billion annual budget, what did they intend for this audit to accomplish?
