It's our policy: Some terrorists can fly without secondary screening

Terry Jeffrey at CNS carefully reads through a July report from the Homeland Security Inspector General and finds this passage:


<<<“Not all known or reasonably suspected terrorists are prohibited from boarding an aircraft, or are subject to additional security screening prior to boarding an aircraft.” >>>


In other words, you've been waiting in lines and subjected to harrassment by TSA employees for about eight years now, all for naught. We're not even scrutinizing real terrorists. I'll have more on the cost-benefit of our pretend airport security system in tomorrow's column.
