The screeners were given the answers to the exam ahead of time to ensure they would pass.

Here's an example question:

Quote:

A multiple-choice question asked why it is important to screen bags for explosives. Possible answers were: batteries in explosives "could leak and damage other passenger bags," wires could "cause a short to the aircraft wires," the timer ticking "could worry other passengers." The correct answer: explosives "can cause loss of lives, property and aircraft."

And they needed to cheat to get it right??????? I feel safe.

What's even more frightening is that this group is FAR sharper than the former mopes!

That's why I prefer to drive instead of fly.

Sounds like Mattl, DV22 and TrumperZ06 would do just fine in those environments.
