Why are you so surprised? Aren't most government employees republican?

the difference between the private and government screeners was statistically significant but still slight. So what is the big deal here? Inspection is a subject I have followed closely for many years. The reports I have read, and the experience I have, show that an operator can effectively screen material for about 30 to 45 minutes. After that they need a break for at least 5 minutes. The report I heard is thus. A screener at an airport X-Ray machine (with suitable training) will screen out guns and explosives for 30 to 45 minutes, after which there is an ever increasing probability that you can put in the proverbial Thompson machine gun in a cello-case and it will still pass inspection. The tommy-gun-in-the-cello-case ploy probably worked for about a week auto-ordnance.com Most jobs in the USA and UK have inspection procedures that require operators to inspect for periods far in excess of 45 minutes.
