DHS Inspector Report

According to a new report from the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general, airport screeners still Need Improvement. That will not come as a surprise to anyone who travels, but some of the details, as reported by A.P., are still disturbing:

-Screeners aren’t tested on when they should pat down passengers and what the passengers’ legal rights are.

Well, duh, no one knows what the passenger’s legal rights are. Can’t expect the screeners to.
