Washington (CNN)Airport screeners failed to detect explosives and weapons in nearly every test that an undercover Homeland Security team conducted at dozens of airports, according to an internal investigation.

The Transportation Security Administration found that "red teams" with the Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General were able to get banned items through the screening process in 67 out of 70 tests -- 95% -- it conducted across the nation.

Well, as my aunt in Alabama used to say, "Consider my pearls clutched."  (Not.)  I wish I could say this surprises me.
 
Just announced on CNN...TSA chief sacked over 95% failure rate test results.  What?  Accountability for performance?  When did that start?
