The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a department that was created to supposedly lax airport security prior to the attacks on 9/11. Apparently, this government plan has failed somehow. It was reported in NBC news that an undercover news team decided to test the airport TSA, where three out of four TSA inspector failed to find banned items in the carry-on luggage. It was unacceptable that those items pass the TSA check. Because of this input, TSA decided to change, implementing systematic changes in how they screen passengers. In fact, this was not the first failure that TSA had, in June CNN and ABC news reported that something similar happened. After spending a massive amount of money TSA screening, the failure rate still high, something is not working. In 2013 the York Post reported that TSA screeners allowed a federal agent with a fake bomb through airport security at the Newark International Airport. Most TSA screeners know their job is a complete joke.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has a big responsibility at all airports in the United States, they provide security to passengers and employees. But unfraternally their rate of failure went up from 75% (Heyes, 2015) to a 95% (Barrier, 2017). My argument with this article is that I completely agree with is. I personally work at the airport and I see this type of issues every day. I am not complete agree how the manage the airport security here in Tampa, it is true all employees have a background check before getting their SIDA badge but that is not enough. Once they get a badge they have access to many sterile areas of the airport and that should not be like that. Sometimes TSA checks the employees, but I think they should be at all checkpoints of the doors that employees have access
