Security Administration? And what are they doing? Sure — they
wand your crotch and stare at you naked (or did), but what else?

> Well, for six current and former employees, the answer is:
smuggle 20 tons of cocaine between 1988 and 2016.
>
> Nicely done.
>
> Total value: $100 million.
>
> From Fox News:
>
> “A dozen members of the alleged ring, including TSA workers
and airport employees, were indicted Feb. 8 in the District of
Puerto Rico on charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to
distribute cocaine…”
> [....]
> The coke carriers were able to take their power powder right
through carry-on and checked-baggage channels. Install a few
co-conspirators at the x-ray station and voilà — golden.
>
> Drug mules would then board the loaded planes that were just
plain loaded.
>
> But they ain’t no more! U.S. Attorney for the District of
Puerto Rico Rosa Emilia Rodríguez-Vélez hailed the arrests:
>
> “These individuals were involved in a conspiracy to traffic
massive quantities of illegal narcotics to the continental
United States. These arrests demonstrate the success of the
AirTAT initiative, which has successfully allocated a dedicated
group of state and federal law enforcement officers, whose
mission is to ensure that our airports are not used in the drug
traffickers’ illicit businesses.”
>
> I guess a group of crooks within the TSA smuggling illegal
items or substances is kind of a no-brainer. How’s the agency
doing otherwise?
>
> Well, in 2015, in a test of efficacy, the Department of
Homeland Security attempted to sneak through 70 weapons. TSA
detected three.
>
> Additionally — according to a report that same year — failing
to identify them, the Transportation Security Administration
hired 73 individuals on terrorist watch lists.
>
> At least the 6 individuals are finally in custody. Still,
though they may be frowning now, a buncha scoundrels went long
undetected, right under the noses of people tasked with keeping
us safe. For almost three long decades, they were able to stuff
their pockets and — like the commercial says — Have a Coke and a
Smile.

"Additionally — according to a report that same year — failing
