This is really disturbing considering that Minneapolis has a very high Muslim population. And, yes, Muslims are far more likely to pose a threat of terrorism. So, we go through all the crap at security, taking our shoes off, throwing away shampoo and bottled water, and maybe even endure getting pawed by a security guard, just to feel safer. Truth is that all they are doing is tossing out obvious things, like more than 4 oz. of mouthwash, but aren't doing a damn thing to stop potential terror attacks.
"An undercover team, referred to as the "Red Team" from Washington, D.C., posed as passengers and attempted to sneak items through security that should easily be caught.
Jack Highberger of KMSP Fox 9 News reports from Minneapolis:
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — When put to the test, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport failed 95 percent of security tests conducted last week.
An undercover team, referred to as the “Red Team” from Washington, D.C., posed as passengers and attempted to sneak items through security that should easily be caught.
It’s the sort of failing grade that MSP-TSA has received before.
Seventeen out of 18 tries.
Undercover federal agents posing as passengers able to sneak explosive materials, fake weapons or drugs past screening.
Two separate sources told Fox 9 News that tests carried out on Thursday were eventually stopped, after the astounding 95 percent failure rates.
It all comes as Americans are expected to set travel records this holiday weekend with AAA estimating nearly 3.5 million will fly, but, at MSP, persisting doubts about security.
In April of 2016, sources told Fox 9 News the airport failed nine out of 12 tests."
