Investigators were able to take mock explosives and other material through checkpoints.

Fare-Compare CEO Rick Seaney says, “If you can actually pass fake stuff through that kind of security, whether it’s the body scanner or the x-ray machines, then something’s wrong with their equipment and their training. And that’s something they have to sort out. That’s not security theater, that’s just bad practice.”
