Error or 73 TSA Employees Linked to Terror

First we went through the agony of a test with a 96 percent failure rate

Fake bombs, unloaded guns and contraband undetected on its way through the boarding gates

True to form, instead of firing the TSA acting head

Merely reassigned with for all we know an increased salary instead

Now we find that 73 of its employees at airports had not cleared suspected terrorist lists

73 is not a large number given the army TSA employs but a symbol of why ineptness with feds seems to persist

The agency charged with protecting our transportation system from mortal harm

Seems not to have access to the terror list so it could raise an alarm

It only takes one sleeper in a jihadist terror cell

To plant a bomb aboard a plane to turn a flight into a flaming, destructive hell

This time the cards were dealt and we beat the dealer as we did not bust

But how much longer can we be lucky and to the TSA continue to trust?

When do we consider a move to airport security privatize?

In the private sector efficiency and effectiveness most companies empathize
